If the user meant the dialectal word "temse," it means a sieve or to sift.

Temedi (Temesi) is a former River isolated Island Mountain Range in Mauritania that has Copper Gold alloys. This city of Temesi (Temidi) is the source of Copper in Homer's Odyssey.

In Homer's Odyssey, Temese is a place known for its copper, which is visited by the character Mentes, a king of the Taphians. During his visit to Ithaca, the goddess Athena disguises herself as Mentes and tells Telemachus she is on her way to Temese to trade iron for copper.

§1.180 comrades, sailing on the wine-dark sea to men of another language, to Temese, after copper, and I bring gleaming iron.

This is also the source of the famous Atlantean alloy orichalcum a copper gold alloy naturally mixed here in Temedi (Temesi). The Atlantes people lived in Northern Mauritania and occupied the the Capital City Islands of Atlatis in the Richat Structure in the Eye of Ouadane (Odan) for a centuries .

The city of "Temesi" (more commonly spelled Temesa) is mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as a source of copper. The reference comes in Book I, when the goddess Athena, disguised as a family friend named Mentes, visits Odysseus's son Telemachus.

Athena tells Telemachus that she is a traveling merchant sailing to Temesa with a cargo of gleaming iron to trade for copper. The passage (Book I, lines 180–184) highlights the ancient world's metal trade and establishes Temesa as a hub for copper.

Temesa is an ancient city in southern Italy mentioned in Homer's Odyssey (Book 1, lines 180-184) as a location where the hero Telemachus's guest, Mentes, traded iron for copper.

The city was known for its rich copper mines and its strategic location on the west coast. In later folklore, a story emerged about one of Odysseus's crew members, Polites, being killed at Temesa and returning as a vengeful ghost until he was defeated by Euthymus of Locri.

Mentes, king of the Tafii, states he is traveling to Temesa to trade iron for copper. Temesa was located on the west coast of the "toe" of Italy, now believed to be near the Gulf of Santa Eufemia. The city was famous for its copper extraction, which is why Mentes was making a trade there.

A separate folk tale, retold by authors like Strabo, involves one of Odysseus's crew members, Polites, being killed at Temesa. The ghost of Polites becomes a vengeful spirit that terrorizes the local population.The ghost is eventually appeased or defeated by a visitor, often identified as the boxer Euthymus of Locri, who makes a deal for peace in exchange for a tribute.

The exact location of the Temese mentioned by Homer has been debated for centuries until now.

The name Tamassou is related to the Homeric Greek term Temese, which appears in the Odyssey as a trading port for copper.; The etymology of Tamassou is tied to the ancient city-kingdom of Tamassos which was likely named for its important copper industry. Most sources trace the name back to the ancient Greek Tamassós (Ταμασσός). The name's original meaning is debated, but it probably relates to the area's rich copper deposits.

The city is likely the "Temese" mentioned in Homer's Odyssey (I, 184). In the epic poem, Athena tells Odysseus's son, Telemachus, that she is "bound for the foreign port of Temese with a cargo of gleaming iron, which we intend to trade for copper". This implies Temese was the main copper market on the island.

A Phoenician origin: Some scholars propose the name derives from the Phoenician word themaes, which means "smelting". Given the city's role as a major copper production center, this is a very strong possibility.

Assyrian inscriptions: An Assyrian inscription from around 673 BCE, the Prism of Esarhaddon, refers to the city as "Tamesi," further linking the name to its early history.

The ancient city-kingdom of Tamassos was situated in the central plain of Cyprus, southwest of the city of Soli

Archaeological and historical evidence confirms that Tamassos was a major center for copper mining in ancient times, which aligns with the description in the Odyssey.

From HOmer's Odyeesy:

§1.180 comrades, sailing on the wine-dark sea to men of another language, to Temese, after copper, and I bring gleaming iron.
