Gaia.The historian and archaeologist Mustapha Ouachi noticed that the city Tangier is geographically related to its myth. Because Tangier lies off the
coast which means the
sea and the
earth, and that is associated with the mother and father of her first husband (Antaios). Because the mother of Antaios Gaia was the goddess of the earth whereas the father of Antaios was Poseidon who was the god of the sea, according to the Berber legend. In addition,
Herodotus considered Poseidon as a
Libyan (Berber) god that has been adopted by the Greeks.
