The myth start 3 million years before present Pre-Volcanic Strongili. The island was circular then and was called
Strongili (the Round One). Around the 17 th century BC a colossal volcanic eruption caused the centre of Strongili to sink,
leaving a caldera with high cliffs. The first Volcanic craters began
to form about 2,000,000 years ago southwest of the Santorini. Over time the craters broke through the sea. Later
volcanic activity would create other craters to the north of the already existing island. Eventually one island was
formed. Buried under layers of ash and volcanic residue for centuries.
