Plato’s ‘Libya’ was in Asia Minor

The Three Continents named wrongly © Nicholas Costa 2024

A very important clue is to be found in Strabo’s Geography (1.4.) where he writes:

and the Greeks named the three continents wrongly, because they did not look out upon the whole inhabited world, but merely on their own country and that which lay in the direction opposite, namely Caria where Ionians and their immediate neighbours now live; but in time ever advancing still further and becoming acquainted with more countries, they have finally brought their division of the continents to what it now is. The question, then is whether the ‘first men’ who divided the three continents by boundaries were thosefirst men’ who sought to divide by boundaries their own country from that of the Carians, which lay opposite; or did the latter have a notion merely of Greece, and of Caria and a bit of territory contiguous thereto, without having in like manner a notion of Europe, Asia, or of Libya…”

 Lybia- Luvia -Luwia-Lydia

In addition, note, the similarity of the Greek name Libya (?????) and the Hittite name Luwia/Luvia for the coastal region of Asia Minor known in Greek as Lydia (?????). Likewise note the similarity of the name Africa (??????) for the continent and Phrygia (??????) the region in Asia Minor, as well as the derivation of the word Asia (????) from the Hittite region of Assuwa. As shall be demonstrated in confirmation of Strabo’s statement; the area the myth is actually referring to is to the south west coast of Asia Minor.
