Marquis Agricol Joseph François de Fortia d’Urban (1756-1843) was a wealthy French mathematician and archaeologist. He was a member of several academies in western Europe. He wrote a paper identifying Gozo, in the Maltese archipelago, as Ogygia, the abode of Homer’s Calypso. In a massive 10 volume work, Histoire ancienne du globe terrestre (The History of the Ancient World), volume 9 has an essay that links the floods of Noah and Ogyges with the sinking of Atlantis.
