Mount Amara was a mountain in Ethiopia reported by early European explorers including Francisco Álvares, which entered the imagination of John Milton's description of Paradise that appeared in Paradise Lost and Coleridge and many other poets. The mountain, at least in Samuel Purchas's Purchas, His Pilgrimage, which Pakenham (1959) believes inspired Milton, is possibly to be identified with Amba Geshen among the list of mountains in Ethiopia.
