Fascinating. I'd like to get the opinions of other archaeologists, but this article makes a persuasive preliminary case.

I would like to see a more thorough, scholarly description of the evidence, but it has long been speculated that if Odysseus (or someone like him) existed, that the Ithaca of Homer was actually modern-day Cephalonia.

PS. And might I add that this is a fascinating report!

Makes sense that a successful kingdom would be on a larger island with adequate water supplies.

I'm a little surprised that the seat of the kingdom wouldn't have been somewhere inside on of the deep bays sohown on the map since the city/port would have been protected from storms.

Octopus-shaped? Looks more like a leaping frog to me.

Or a headless something, running.
