Carl Blegen, after spending several years in the 1930s excavating at Troy, discovered a Bronze Age palace at Pylos in 1939 which he identified as Nestor's palace (although nothing with Nestor's name turned up). There's a building on the University of Cincinnati campus named for Carl Blegen.

A vry worthwhile article—except for the part where he starts in about the epic works can’t be a real picture of the times they portray because they were transmitted by oral troubadors for hundreds of years.
The whole point of the transmission of stgories that comprise the ethos of a culture is that they are ‘sacred’ in a sense and the ritual of repeating them exactly as handed down is an important part of the ‘power’ of the tale.
Anthropologists have found that many cultures still hand down the history of their culture through this method when written history is not available and they use mnemetics to keep the ‘sacred’ story unchanged.

“’The Odyssey’ and ‘The Iliad’ are giving up new secrets about the ancient world”
Water board?
That “shortage of women” is part of what drives China and the Saracens. That “shortage of women” drives hyper masculine societies toward conquest of more introspective feminine societies.
