Sažetak
The article provides a new interpretation of the well-known Greek myth of Alpheus and Arethusa. It is believed that this myth emerged as a description of latitude sailing between the Peloponnese and Sicily during the Bronze Age. The author further discusses the stars on this route which could have served to assist navigation. This is followed by a discussion on the ancient practice of determining latitude by observing the altitude of the lower culmination of the last circumpolar star. Some suggested maritime routes are also provided which could have been traversed using the latitude sailing technique. This is also followed by a discussion on the stars that could have been used as navigation aids on such voyages.
