Strabo praeterea Avernum commemorat, lacumItalicum Plutonium ab aliquibus habitum, quia gasia quae exhibebat tam mephitica erant ut aves supra volantes obruerent. Strabo apud fontes priores legit hoc fuisse oraculum mortuorum (nekumanteion) quod Odysseus in libro 11 Odysseae petebat; ipse autem videtur Avernum Plutonium verum non habuisse.[9]
