Odysseus Returns

Back to: Odysseus Returns

The 1992 excavation of the tomb Makis Metaxas found gives up an incredible piece of evidence.

Ismini Milliaresis describes the archeological dig that took place on her family's land on Kefalonia

Makis Metaxas believes Odysseus' kingdom was in his hometown on the island of Kefalonia.

Homer calls Odysseus “King of the Ithacans.” But there are no Mycenaean ruins on modern-day Ithaki.

In 1992, the discovery of a tomb leads to claims that the body buried there is King Odysseus.

An ancient tomb might prove that the hero of Homer’s Odyssey really existed.
