At the confluence , the Ohio is considerably bigger than the Mississippi ( Ohio at Cairo : 281,500 cu ft / s ( 7,960 m / s ) ; Mississippi at Thebes : 208,200 cu ft / s ( 5,897 m / s ) ) and , thus , is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system . The 981 - mile ( 1,579 km ) river flows through or along the border of six states , and its drainage basin includes parts of 15 states . Through its largest tributary , the Tennessee River , the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people . It is named in Iroquoian or Seneca : Ohi : yó , lit . `` Good River '' or Shawnee : Pelewathiipi and Spelewathiipi . The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans , as numerous civilizations formed along its valley . For thousands of years , Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route . Its waters connected communities . In the five centuries before European conquest , the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley , such as Angel Mounds near Evansville , Indiana , as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast . The Osage , Omaha , Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley , but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast , migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri , Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 17th century . In 1669 , René - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River , becoming the first Europeans to see it . After European - American settlement , the river served as a border between present - day Kentucky and Indian Territories . It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781 -- 82 , Thomas Jefferson stated : `` The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth . Its current gentle , waters clear , and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids , a single instance only excepted . '' During the 19th century , the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory . It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason -- Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland , and thus part of the border between free and slave territory , and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South . Where the river was narrow , it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North , many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement . The Ohio River is a climatic transition area , as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas . It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates . In winter , it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely further south toward Cincinnati and Louisville . At Paducah , Kentucky , in the south , near the Ohio 's confluence with the Mississippi , it is ice - free year - round . Paducah was founded there because it is the northernmost ice - free reach of the Ohio .

Geography and hydrography ( edit ) Natural - color satellite image of the Wabash - Ohio confluence . The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at Point State Park in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . From there , it flows northwest through Allegheny and Beaver counties , before making an abrupt turn to the south - southwest at the West Virginia -- Ohio -- Pennsylvania triple - state line ( near East Liverpool , Ohio ; Chester , West Virginia ; and Midland , Pennsylvania ) . From there , it forms the border between West Virginia and Ohio , upstream of Wheeling , West Virginia . The river then follows a roughly southwest and then west - northwest course until Cincinnati , before bending to a west - southwest course for most of its length . The course forms the northern borders of West Virginia and Kentucky ; and the southern borders of Ohio , Indiana and Illinois , until it joins the Mississippi River near the city of Cairo , Illinois . Major tributaries of the river , indicated by the location of the mouths , include : Allegheny River -- Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania Monongahela River -- Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania Saw Mill Run -- Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania Chartiers Creek -- Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania Montour Run -- Coraopolis , Pennsylvania Beaver River -- Rochester , Pennsylvania Breezewood Creek -- Beaver , Pennsylvania Raccoon Creek -- Center Township Little Beaver Creek -- East Liverpool , Ohio Wheeling Creek -- Wheeling , West Virginia Middle Island Creek -- St. Marys , West Virginia Little Muskingum River -- Ohio Duck Creek -- Marietta , Ohio Muskingum River -- Marietta , Ohio Little Kanawha River -- Parkersburg , West Virginia Hocking River -- Hockingport , Ohio Kanawha River -- Point Pleasant , West Virginia Guyandotte River -- Huntington , West Virginia Big Sandy River -- Kentucky - West Virginia border Little Sandy River -- Greenup , Kentucky Little Scioto River -- Sciotoville , Ohio Scioto River -- Portsmouth , Ohio Kinniconick Creek -- Vanceburg , Kentucky Little Miami River -- Cincinnati , Ohio Licking River -- Newport - Covington , Kentucky Mill Creek -- Cincinnati , Ohio Great Miami River -- Ohio - Indiana border Salt River -- West Point , Kentucky Kentucky River -- Carrollton , Kentucky Green River -- near Henderson , Kentucky Wabash River -- Indiana - Illinois - Kentucky border Saline River -- Illinois Cumberland River -- Smithland , Kentucky Tennessee River -- Paducah , Kentucky Cache River -- Illinois Drainage basin ( edit ) The Ohio 's drainage basin covers 189,422 square miles ( 490,600 km ) , encompassing the easternmost regions of the Mississippi Basin . The Ohio drains parts of 15 states in four regions . Northeast New York : a small area of the southern border along the headwaters of the Allegheny . Pennsylvania : a corridor from the southwestern corner to north central border . Mid-Atlantic / Upper South Maryland : a small corridor along the Youghiogheny River on the western border . West Virginia : all but the Eastern Panhandle . Kentucky : all but a small part in the extreme west drained directly by the Mississippi . Tennessee : all but a small part in the extreme west drained directly by the Mississippi , and a very small area in the southeastern corner which is drained by the Conasauga River . Virginia : most of southwest Virginia . North Carolina : the western quarter . Midwest Ohio : the southern two - thirds Indiana : all but the northern area . Illinois : the southeast quarter . Deep South Georgia : the far northwest corner . Alabama : the northern portion . Mississippi : the northeast corner . South Carolina : less than 1 square mile in the northwest . Geology ( edit ) Glacial Lake Ohio From a geological standpoint , the Ohio River is young . The river formed on a piecemeal basis beginning between 2.5 and 3 million years ago . The earliest ice ages occurred at this time and dammed portions of north - flowing rivers . The Teays River was the largest of these rivers . The modern Ohio River flows within segments of the ancient Teays . The ancient rivers were rearranged or consumed by glaciers and lakes . Upper Ohio River ( edit ) The upper Ohio River formed when one of the glacial lakes overflowed into a south - flowing tributary of the Teays River . Prior to that event , the north - flowing Steubenville River ( no longer in existence ) ended between New Martinsville and Paden City , West Virginia . Likewise , the south - flowing Marietta River ( no longer in existence ) ended between the present - day cities . The overflowing lake carved through the separating hill and connected the rivers . The resulting floodwaters enlarged the small Marietta valley to a size more typical of a large river . The new large river subsequently drained glacial lakes and melting glaciers at the end of the Ice Age . The valley grew during and following the ice age . Many small rivers were altered or abandoned after the upper Ohio River formed . Valleys of some abandoned rivers can still be seen on satellite and aerial images of the hills of Ohio and West Virginia between Marietta , Ohio , and Huntington , West Virginia . As testimony to the major changes that occurred , such valleys are found on hilltops . Middle Ohio River ( edit ) The middle Ohio River formed in a manner similar to formation of the upper Ohio River . A north - flowing river was temporarily dammed southwest of present - day Louisville , creating a large lake until the dam burst . A new route was carved to the Mississippi . Eventually the upper and middle sections combined to form what is essentially the modern Ohio River . History ( edit ) Steamboat `` Morning Star '' , a Louisville and Evansville mail packet , in 1858 . Pre-Columbian inhabitants of eastern North America considered the Ohio part of a single river continuing on through the lower Mississippi . The river 's name comes from the Seneca ( Iroquoian ) Ohiːyo ' , a proper name derived from ohiːyoːh , meaning `` good river '' . The combined Allegheny - Ohio river is 1,310 miles ( 2,110 km ) long and carries the largest volume of water of any tributary of the Mississippi . The Indians and early explorers and settlers of the region also often considered the Allegheny to be part of the Ohio . The forks ( the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at what is now Pittsburgh ) was considered a strategic military location . French fur traders operated in the area , and France built forts along the Allegheny River . In 1669 , René - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de La Salle , led an expedition of French traders who became the first Europeans to see the river . He traveled from Canada and entered the headwaters of the Ohio , traveling as far as the Falls of Ohio at present - day Louisville before turning back . He returned to explore the river again in other expeditions . An Italian cartographer traveling with him created the first map of the Ohio River . La Salle claimed the Ohio Valley for France . In 1749 , Great Britain established the Ohio Company to settle and trade in the area . Exploration of the territory and trade with the Indians in the region near the Forks by British colonials from Pennsylvania and Virginia -- both of which claimed the territory -- led to conflict with the French . In 1763 , following the Seven Years ' War , France ceded the area to Britain . The 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix opened Kentucky to colonial settlement and established the Ohio River as a southern boundary for American Indian territory . In 1774 , the Quebec Act restored the land east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River to Quebec , in effect making the Ohio the southern boundary of Canada . This appeased the Canadien British subjects but angered the Thirteen Colonies . Lord Dunmore 's War south of the Ohio river also contributed to giving the land north to Quebec to stop further encroachment of the British colonials on native land . During the American Revolution , in 1776 the British military engineer John Montrésor created a map of the river showing the strategic location of Fort Pitt , including specific navigational information about the Ohio River 's rapids and tributaries in that area . However , the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) gave the entire Ohio Valley to the United States . The economic connection of the Ohio Country to the East was significantly increased in 1818 when the National Road being built westward from Cumberland , Maryland reached Wheeling , Virginia ( now West Virginia ) , providing an easier overland connection from the Potomac River to the Ohio River . Louisville was founded at the only major natural navigational barrier on the river , the Falls of the Ohio . The Falls were a series of rapids where the river dropped 26 feet ( 7.9 m ) in a stretch of about 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) . In this area , the river flowed over hard , fossil - rich beds of limestone . The first locks on the river -- the Louisville and Portland Canal -- were built to circumnavigate the falls between 1825 and 1830 . Fears that Louisville 's transshipment industry would collapse proved ill - founded : the increasing size of steamships and barges on the river meant that the outdated locks could only service the smallest vessels until well after the Civil War . The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers improvements were expanded again in the 1960s , forming the present - day McAlpine Locks and Dam . Because the Ohio River flowed westward , it became a convenient means of westward movement by pioneers traveling from western Pennsylvania . After reaching the mouth of the Ohio , settlers would travel north on the Mississippi River to St. Louis , Missouri . There , some continued on up the Missouri River , some up the Mississippi , and some further west over land routes . In the early 19th century , river pirates such as Samuel Mason , operating out of Cave - In - Rock , Illinois , waylaid travelers on their way down the river . They killed travelers , stealing their goods and scuttling their boats . The folktales about Mike Fink recall the keelboats used for commerce in the early days of European settlement . The Ohio River boatmen were the inspiration for performer Dan Emmett , who in 1843 wrote the song `` The Boatman 's Dance '' . Trading boats and ships traveled south on the Mississippi to New Orleans , and sometimes beyond to the Gulf of Mexico and other ports in the Americas and Europe . This provided a much - needed export route for goods from the west , since the trek east over the Appalachian Mountains was long and arduous . The need for access to the port of New Orleans by settlers in the Ohio Valley led to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 . Because the river is the southern border of Ohio , Indiana , and Illinois , it was part of the border between free states and slave states in the years before the American Civil War . The expression `` sold down the river '' originated as a lament of Upper South slaves , especially from Kentucky , who were shipped via the Ohio and Mississippi to cotton and sugar plantations in the Deep South . Before and during the Civil War , the Ohio River was called the `` River Jordan '' by slaves crossing it to escape to freedom in the North via the Underground Railroad . More escaping slaves , estimated in the thousands , made their perilous journey north to freedom across the Ohio River than anywhere else across the north - south frontier . Harriet Beecher Stowe 's Uncle Tom 's Cabin , the bestselling novel that fueled abolitionist work , was the best known of the anti-slavery novels that portrayed such escapes across the Ohio . The times have been expressed by 20th - century novelists as well , such as the Nobel Prize - winning Toni Morrison , whose novel Beloved was adapted as a film of the same name . She also composed the libretto for the opera Margaret Garner ( 2005 ) , based on the life and trial of an enslaved woman who escaped with her family across the river . The Ohio River is considered to separate Midwestern Great Lakes states from the Upper South states , which were historically border states in the Civil War . The colonial charter for Virginia defined its territory as extending to the north shore of the Ohio , so that the riverbed was `` owned '' by Virginia . Where the river serves as a boundary between states today , Congress designated the entire river to belong to the states on the east and south , i.e. , West Virginia and Kentucky at the time of admission to the Union , that were divided from Virginia . Thus Wheeling Island , the largest inhabited island in the Ohio River , belongs to West Virginia , although it is closer to the Ohio shore than to the West Virginia shore . Kentucky brought suit against Indiana in the early 1980s because of the building of the Marble Hill nuclear power plant in Indiana , which would have discharged its waste water into the river . The U.S. Supreme Court held that Kentucky 's jurisdiction ( and , implicitly , that of West Virginia ) extended only to the low - water mark of 1793 ( important because the river has been extensively dammed for navigation , so that the present river bank is north of the old low - water mark . ) Similarly , in the 1990s , Kentucky challenged Illinois ' right to collect taxes on a riverboat casino docked in Metropolis , citing its own control of the entire river . A private casino riverboat that docked in Evansville , Indiana , on the Ohio River opened about the same time . Although such boats cruised on the Ohio River in an oval pattern up and down , the state of Kentucky soon protested . Other states had to limit their cruises to going forwards , then reversing and going backwards on the Indiana shore only . Since 2002 , Indiana has allowed its riverboat casinos to be permanently docked .

The Ohio River was polluted with hundreds of thousands of pounds of PFOA by DuPont chemical company , from an outflow pipe , for several decades beginning in the 1950s . River depth ( edit ) Lawrenceburg , Indiana , is one of many towns that use the Ohio as a shipping avenue . The Ohio River is a naturally shallow river that was artificially deepened by a series of dams . The natural depth of the river varied from about 3 to 20 feet ( 0.91 to 6.10 m ) . The dams raise the water level and have turned the river largely into a series of reservoirs , eliminating shallow stretches and allowing for commercial navigation . From its origin to Cincinnati , the average depth is approximately 15 feet ( 5 m ) . The largest immediate drop in water level is below the McAlpine Locks and Dam at the Falls of the Ohio at Louisville , Kentucky , where flood stage is reached when the water reaches 23 feet ( 7 m ) on the lower gauge . However , the river 's deepest point is 168 feet ( 51 m ) on the western side of Louisville , Kentucky . From Louisville , the river loses depth very gradually until its confluence with the Mississippi at Cairo , Illinois , where it has an approximate depth of 19 feet ( 6 m ) . Water levels for the Ohio River from Smithland Lock and Dam upstream to Pittsburgh are predicted daily by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's Ohio River Forecast Center . The water depth predictions are relative to each local flood plain based upon predicted rainfall in the Ohio River basin in five reports as follows : Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , to Hannibal Locks and Dam , Ohio ( including the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers ) Willow Island Locks and Dam , Ohio , to Greenup Lock and Dam , Kentucky ( including the Kanawha River ) Portsmouth , Ohio , to Markland Locks and Dam , Kentucky McAlpine Locks and Dam , Kentucky , to Cannelton Locks and Dam , Indiana Newburgh Lock and Dam , Indiana , to Golconda , Illinois The water levels for the Ohio River from Smithland Lock and Dam to Cairo , Illinois , are predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center .

Moriarty is also known for his roles in films such as Bang the Drum Slowly , Who 'll Stop the Rain , Q : The Winged Serpent , The Stuff , Pale Rider , Troll , Courage Under Fire , and Shiloh . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Acting career 3 Musical career 4 Politics 5 Personal life 6 Filmography 6.1 Film 6.2 Television 7 References 8 External links Early life ( edit ) Michael Moriarty was born in Detroit , Michigan on April 5 , 1941 . He is the son of Elinor ( née Paul ) and George Moriarty , a surgeon . His grandfather George Moriarty was a third baseman , umpire , and manager in the major leagues for nearly 40 years . Moriarty attended middle school at Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills before transferring to the University of Detroit Jesuit High School for high school . He then matriculated at Dartmouth College in the class of 1963 , where he was a theatre college major . After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree , he left for London , England , where he enrolled in the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art , after receiving a Fulbright Scholarship . Acting career ( edit ) Before gaining fame in films , Moriarty worked for several years as an actor at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis . In 1973 , Moriarty was cast as the egocentric Henry Wiggen in Bang the Drum Slowly , a film about the unlikely friendship between two baseball teammates -- the second being Robert De Niro , a slow - thinking catcher who becomes terminally ill . In the same year , Moriarty starred in a TV movie adaptation of Tennessee Williams ' The Glass Menagerie with Katharine Hepburn . Coincidentally , the film also featured Sam Waterston , who later replaced Moriarty as the Executive Assistant District Attorney on Law & Order . Moriarty 's role in The Glass Menagerie ( as `` Jim , '' the Gentleman Caller ; Waterston played the son `` Tom '' ) won him an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor of the Year . In 1974 , Moriarty starred as rookie detective Bo Lockley in the acclaimed gritty police drama Report to the Commissioner . Moriarty won a Tony Award in 1974 for his performance in the play Find Your Way Home . His career on the screen was slow to develop , while his theatre career was flourishing . He starred as a German SS officer in the television miniseries Holocaust , which earned him another Emmy . Through the 1980s , Moriarty starred in such Larry Cohen movies as Q , The Stuff , It 's Alive III : Island of the Alive , and A Return to Salem 's Lot ( much later , he appeared in Cohen 's Masters of Horror episode `` Pick Me Up '' ) , as well as Clint Eastwood 's Pale Rider and The Hanoi Hilton . In 1986 , he starred in the fantasy science fiction movie Troll , playing the role of Harry Potter Sr. ( unrelated to the 2001 Harry Potter series . ) In 1989 , Michael Moriarty starred in the HBO production Tailspin : Behind the Korean Airliner Tragedy , which dramatized the Soviet Union 's shoot - down of Korean Air Lines flight 007 in 1983 . He portrayed U.S. Air Force Major Hank Daniels , who was largely ignored if not ridiculed for showing how the ill - fated airliner had strayed off course into airspace known by the Soviets to be used by U.S. Air Force electronic surveillance planes as they approached Soviet airspace . From 1990 to 1994 , Moriarty starred as Ben Stone on Law & Order . He left the show in 1994 , alleging that his departure was a result of his threatening a lawsuit against then - Attorney General Janet Reno , who had cited Law & Order as offensively violent . Moriarty criticized Reno 's comment , and claimed that not only did she want to censor shows like Law & Order but also such fare as Murder , She Wrote . He later accused Law & Order executive producer Dick Wolf of not taking his concerns seriously , and claimed that Wolf and other network executives were `` caving in '' to Reno 's `` demands '' on the issue of TV violence . On September 20 , 1994 on The Howard Stern Show , he made an offer to NBC , claiming that he would return to his role on the show if Dick Wolf was fired . Moriarty published a full - page advertisement in a Hollywood trade magazine , calling upon fellow artists to stand up with him against attempts to censor TV show content . He subsequently wrote and published The Gift of Stern Angels , his account of this time in his life . The character of Ben Stone has yet to reappear on the franchise . The February 7 , 2018 , episode of Law & Order : Special Victims Unit opens with Sam Waterston 's character of Jack McCoy delivering a eulogy at Ben Stone 's funeral . Wolf and others working on Law & Order tell a different story , however . On November 18 , 1993 , Moriarty and Wolf , along with other television executives , met with Reno to dissuade her from supporting any law that would censor the show . Wolf said that Moriarty overreacted to any effect the law was likely to have on the show . Law & Order producers claim they were forced to remove Moriarty from the series because of `` erratic behavior '' , an example of which reportedly happened during the filming of the episode `` Breeder '' when , according to the episode 's director , Arthur Forney , Moriarty was unable to deliver his lines with a straight face . Series and network officials deny any connection between his departure and Janet Reno . Wolf also denies that the show has become less violent , graphic or controversial since 1994 . Moriarty acted in The Last Detail , Courage Under Fire , Along Came a Spider , Shiloh , Emily of New Moon and James Dean , for which he won his third Emmy . In 2007 he debuted his first feature - length film as screenwriter and performed the role of a man who thinks he is Adolf Hitler in Hitler Meets Christ . Musical career ( edit ) In addition to his acting career , Moriarty is a semi-professional jazz pianist and singer , as well as a classical composer . He has recorded three jazz albums ( though the first , Reaching Out , went unreleased ) . He has performed live regularly in both New York and Vancouver with a jazz trio and quintet . In a 1990 concert review , New York Times reviewer Stephen Holden called Moriarty `` a jazz pianist of considerable skill , an oddball singer with more than one vocal personality , and a writer of eccentric , jivey jazz songs . '' Politics ( edit ) Moriarty is politically active , describing himself as a `` centrist '' , and sometimes as a `` realist '' . Moriarty announced his intention to run for the presidency in 2008 in an interview in the November 2005 issue of Northwest Jazz Profile , but he never formally declared his candidacy . He later endorsed fellow former Law & Order actor Fred Thompson for the presidency during the 2008 Republican primaries , as well as Carly Fiorina during the 2016 primary election cycle . He has been a frequent contributor of numerous political columns to the ESR ( Enter Stage Right ) online Journal of Conservatism . Personal life ( edit ) Shortly after leaving Law & Order , Moriarty moved to Canada , declaring himself a political exile . He lived for a time in Halifax , Nova Scotia , where he was granted Canadian citizenship , and Toronto , Ontario before settling in Vancouver , British Columbia . Moriarty lives in Maple Ridge , British Columbia , where he still acts , writes and plays music . On the blog Enter Stage Right Moriarty writes that he was a `` very bad drunk '' , but that as of February 1 , 2004 , he had been sober for three years .

On the eighteenth day appear the shadowy mountains of the land of the Phaeacians , that looked like a shield in the misty deep . But Poseidon spots his raft and seeking vengeance for his son Polyphemus who was blinded by Odysseus , produces a storm that torments Odysseus . After three days of struggle with the waves , he is finally washed up on Scheria . Pieter Lastman : Odysseus and Nausicaa ( oil on panel , 1619 ; Alte Pinakothek , Munich ) Odysseus meets Nausicaa ( edit ) Francesco Hayez : Odysseus at the court of Alcinous ( oil on canvas , c. 1815 ; Galleria Nazionale di Capodimonte , Naples ) Meanwhile , the goddess Athena , who sneaks into the palace , disguises herself as a sea - captain 's daughter and instructs princess Nausicaa , the daughter of King Alcinous in her sleep to go to the seashore to wash her clothes . The next morning , Nausicaa and her maids go to the seashore , and , after washing the clothes , they start to play a game on the beach , with laughs , giggles and shouts . Odysseus , who was exhausted from his adventure and was sleeping nearby , is awakened by the shouts . He covers his nakedness with thick leaves and goes to ask for help from the team . Upon seeing the unkempt Odysseus in this state , the maids run away , but , Nausicaa , encouraged by Athena , stands her ground and talks to him . To excuse the maids , she admits that the Phaeacians are `` the farthermost of men , and no other mortals are conversant with them '' , so they run away since they have never seen a stranger before . Nausicaa , being hospitable , provides clothes , food and drink to Odysseus , and then directs him to the palace of King Alcinous . The palace of King Alcinous ( edit ) Following Nausicaa 's orders , Odysseus sought to enter the palace of King Alcinous and plead for mercy from the queen , Arete , so he could marry her daughter . On his way to the palace , Odysseus meets Athena disguised as a local girl . In her disguised state , Athena advises him about how to enter the palace . Athena , knowledgeable that the Phaeacians were hostile towards men from the outlands , cloaked Odysseus in a mist that hid him from the Phaeacians ' gaze . Under Athena 's protection , Odysseus passes through all of the protection systems of the palace and enters the chamber of King Alcinous . Odysseus throws his arms around the queen 's legs and supplicates her . Naturally , Alcinous and his court are surprised to see a stranger walking into their secured palace . It was only after Echeneus , a Phaeacian elder , urged King Alcinous to welcome the stranger that they offered Odysseus hospitality The front doors of the palace are flanked with two dogs made of silver and gold , constructed by Hephaestus . The walls of the palace are made of bronze that `` shines like the sun '' and is secured with gates made of gold . Within the walls , there is a magnificent garden with apple , pear , and pomegranate trees that grow year - round . The palace is even equipped with a lighting system comprising golden statues of young men bearing torches . After Odysseus tells Alcinous and his court the story of his adventures after the Trojan War , the Phaeacians take him to Ithaca on one of their ships . Claude Lorrain : Port Scene with the Departure of Odysseus from the Land of the Phaeacians ( oil on canvas , 1646 ; Louvre , Paris ) The Phaeacian ships ( edit ) The Phaeacians possessed remarkable ships . They were quite different from the penteconters , the ships used during the Trojan War , and they were steered by thought . King Alcinous says that Phaeacians carried Rhadamanthus to Euboea , `` which is the furthest of any place '' and came back on the same day . He also explains to Odysseus what sort of information the Phaeacian ships require in order to take him home to Ithaca . Tell me also your country , nation , and city , that our ships may shape their purpose accordingly and take you there . For the Phaeacians have no pilots ; their vessels have no rudders as those of other nations have , but the ships themselves understand what it is that we are thinking about and want ; they know all the cities and countries in the whole world , and can traverse the sea just as well even when it is covered with mist and cloud , so that there is no danger of being wrecked or coming to any harm . Homer describes the Phaeacian ships as fast as a falcon and gives a vivid description of the ship 's departure . The ship bounded forward on her way as a four in hand chariot flies over the course when the horses feel the whip . Her prow curvetted as it were the neck of a stallion , and a great wave of dark blue water seethed in her wake . She held steadily on her course , and even a falcon , swiftest of all birds , could not have kept pace with her . Geographical location of Scheria ( edit ) Main article : Geography of the Odyssey Pontikonisi , the purported petrified ship of the Phaeaces , close to Corfu Many ancient and modern interpreters favour identification of Scheria with the island of Corfu , which is within 110 km ( 68 miles ) of Ithaca . Thucydides , in his Peloponnesian War , identifies Scheria as Corfu or , with its ancient name , Corcyra . In I. 25.4 , he records the Corinthians ' resentment of the Corcyraeans , who `` could not repress a pride in the high naval position of an island whose nautical renown dated from the days of its old inhabitants , the Phaeacians . '' Locals on Corfu had long claimed this , based on the rock outside Corfu harbour , which is supposedly the ship that carried Odysseus back to Ithaca , but was turned to stone by Poseidon , to punish the Phaeacians for helping his enemy , ( ... ) with one blow from the flat of his hand turned her ( the ship ) into stone and rooted her to the sea bottom . The Phaeacians did not participate in the Trojan War . The Greek name Φαίακες is derived from phaiós ( φαιός `` gray '' ) . However , the Phaeacians in the Odyssey did not know Odysseus ( although they knew of him , as evidenced by the tales of Demodocus ) , so they called him a `` stranger '' . Odysseus however was the king of the majority of the Ionian Islands , not only of Ithaca , but also `` of Cephallenia , Neritum , Crocylea , Aegilips , Same and Zacynthus '' so if Scheria was Corfu , it would be surprising that the citizens of one of the Ionian Islands did not know Odysseus . Furthermore , when Odysseus reveals his identity , he says to the nobles : `` ( ... ) if I outlive this time of sorrow , I may be counted as your friend , though I live so far away from all of you '' indicating that Scheria was far away from Ithaca . Many characteristics of the Phaeacians , including their seafaring and relaxed lifestyle are suggestive of Minoan Crete . Aside from the seafaring prowess , the palace walls that shone like the Sun are read to be covered not by bronze but orichalcum . The latter similarities make Scheria also suggestive of Plato 's account of Atlantis . Helena Blavatsky proposed in her Secret Doctrine ( 1888 ) that it was Homer before Plato who first wrote of Atlantis . From the ancient times , some scholars having examined the work and the geography of Homer have suggested that Scheria was located in the Atlantic Ocean . Among them were Strabo and Plutarch . Geographical account by Strabo ( edit ) Approximately eight centuries after Homer , the geographer Strabo criticized Polybius on the geography of the Odyssey . Strabo proposed that Scheria and Ogygia were located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean . At another instance he ( Polybius ) suppresses statements . For Homer says also `` Now after the ship had left the river - stream of Oceanus '' and `` In the island of Ogygia , where is the navel of the sea , '' where the daughter of Atlas lives ; and again , regarding the Phaeacians , `` Far apart we live in the wash of the waves , the farthermost of men , and no other mortals are conversant with us . '' All these ( incidents ) clearly suggest that he ( Homer ) composed them to take place in the Atlantic Ocean .
