Where is the Ithaca described in such detail in Homer's
Odyssey? The mystery has baffled scholars for over two millennia,
particularly because Homer's de*ions bear little resemblance
to the modern island called Ithaki. This highly illustrated book
tells the extraordinary story of the exciting recent discovery of
the true location of Homer's Ithaca by following a detective trail
of literary, geological and archaeological clues. We can now
identify all the places on the island that are mentioned in the
epic - even the site of Odysseus' Palace itself. The pages of the
Odyssey come alive as we follow its events through a landscape that
opens up before our eyes via glorious colour photographs and 3D
satellite images. Over a century after Schliemann's discovery of
Troy, this breakthrough will revolutionise our understanding of
Homer's texts and of our cultural ancestors in Bronze Age
Greece.
? Offers a compelling solution to one of the oldest problems in
classical scholarship using a combination of literary, geological
and archaeological clues ? Tells the story of the author's
discovery in lively prose enhanced by numerous stunning colour
images ? Enables the reader to follow the events of the Odyssey
through a real landscape brought vividly to life
