Corfu's Mythology
According to Greek mythology, Corfu island got its name from the daughter of the river god Asopos, Nymph Korkyra, who was carried away by Poseidon. In Homer's Odyssey we read that Odysseus found shelter here in Kerkyra at the end of his wanderings and received the care of King Alkinoos and his people Pheaces and his daughter Nafsika.
