O grande Dante Alighieri escreve, na Divina Comédia, que Ulisses, tendo atravessado as Colunas de Hércules, embarcou para novas aventuras marítimas.
  Ulysses was certainly a pensioner when he crossed the Pillars of Hercules: after spending a whole lifetime fighting at Troy and getting home again afterwards he was an old man when he set out again. Ulisses estava, seguramente, reformado quando atravessou as Colunas de Hércules: depois de toda uma vida passada a lutar em Tróia e depois a regressar a casa, já idoso, retomou a viagem.
