Where is the Ithaca described in detail in Homer's Odyssey? This mystery has puzzled scholars for over two millennia, especially since Homer's descriptions differ significantly from the modern island called Ithaki. This richly illustrated work reveals the recent discovery of the true location of Homer's Ithaca, tracing a detective trail of literary, geological, and archaeological clues. We can now pinpoint all the locations mentioned in the epic, including the site of Odysseus' palace. The narrative of the Odyssey comes alive as we explore its events through stunning color photographs and 3-D satellite images. Over a century after Schliemann's discovery of Troy, this groundbreaking volume promises to transform our understanding of Homer's text and our cultural ancestors in Bronze Age Greece.
