Aiaian isle
From Wikireedia
This was the island that the minor goddess/witch Kirke was banished to by the King of Kolkhis. In Homer's world he meant to locate it close to Kolkhis and close and beciase the goddess Dawn had a palace there. Apollonios Rhodios is more specific in Jason and the Argonauts and locates the island in moder day Elba and goes out of his way to mention the great distance between Kolkhis and the Aiaian island. Robert Graves places it near modern day Croatia and Tome Severin as Paxos off the west coast of Greece
