Although we are here on the island of Sark in the English Channel, this name takes the viewer to far more southerly climes: The Mediterranean region is known for its world of gods dating back to ancient, pre-Christian times. At least the corresponding names from Greek and Roman mythology, which are still popular today, have been preserved over the millennia. For example, this rock formation on the coast, "Venus Pool", was named after the Roman goddess of beauty and love: VENUS, born of foam, who emerges from the sea. Her Greek counterpart is the goddess APHRODITE in the local mythology.
