Fortunate Isles, also called Isles of the Blest (makarôn nêsoi). Favored mortals in classical and Celtic legend were received by the gods into this blissful paradise. These islands were thought to lie in the Western Ocean; the Madeira and the Canary Islands have sometimes been cited as possible matches.
