There's also Edo Nyland, who adopted as his own the idea that the Odyssey actually refers to a voyage in the Hebrides etc, while Samuel Butler claimed that the Odyssey was written by a woman living in colonial Greek Sicily. As a sidebar, Eberhard Zangger claims that Plato's tale of Atlantis actually was sourced in Egypt, but references the Trojan War, and that Plato et al never recognized the national epic of Greece in the details.

The problem with these odd theories is the original Odyssey is full of named places which existed in the Mediterranean at the time.
