The Princess of the Lost Island (Portugal)

The Princess of the Lost Island (Portugal)

Euphemia was the daughter of King Atlas and the grand-daughter of the great god Jupiter. She was more beautiful than her fifteen sisters, though they were all lovely. She decided to come down to earth. Now in the island of Seven Cities there lived a rich and venerable Christian prince. He adopted Euphemia as his own daughter. She was called Princess Euphemia of the island of Seven Cities. As soon as she came to the island, all pain and misery vanished from it. Euphemia herself remained always young, always beautiful.

Two priests came to the city but they returned to tell everyone about this celestial place. Next morning, the island had entirely disappeared. The water stretched before their gaze with an unbroken rippling blue surface. “What has become of our beautiful island,” the good priests asked in amazement. Euphemia, they say, has not yet disappeared entirely. She has changed her form. She is still found in the Azores in the plant called SOLANEA.
