N2 - Mazur proved that any element ξ of order three in the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve E over a number field k can be made visible in an abelian surface A in the sense that ξ lies in the kernel of the natural homomorphism between the cohomology groups H1(Gal(k̄/k), E) → H1(Gal(k̄/k), A). However, the abelian surface in Mazur's construction is almost never a jacobian of a genus 2 curve. In this paper we show that any element of order three in the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve over a number field can be visualized in the jacobians of a genus 2 curve. Moreover, we describe how to get explicit models of the genus 2 curves involved.
