Corcyra (2)Kerkyra

The daughter of the spring Asopos (Asopus) who was carried off by Poseidon (lord of the Sea) and relocated on an island which was then named after her; her island is located in the Ionian Sea near the coast of modern Herzegovina; the dense forests of the island made it appear black and thus earned the name Black Kerkyra.

The name may also be rendered as Korcyra.
