The islands on the coast of the province of Helgeland, Norway. Milton’s account of them is from the following: “The land was all full of little Islands, and that innumerable, which were called, as we learned afterwards, iEgeland and Halgeland, which lieth from Orfordne e North and by East, being in the latitude of 66 degrees.” ^gypt.

Milton’s suggestion in 3 Prolus. that his hearers should visit /Etna calls to mind his own desire to visit Sicily (2 Defens. 6. 288), where ^Etna probably was one of the sights he wished to see. In Pro cancel. 46 he uses “^tnaeus” to mean Sicilian. JEtm. has frequently been described in poetry; for example, Lucretius 6. 640-703, Pindar, Pyth. 1, and the Latin poem entitled Mtna. Milton’s reference in P. L. 3. 470 is almost a translation from Horace Deus immortal is haberi Dum cup it Empedocles, ardentem frigid us ^tnam Insiluit. 25
