"Odysseus Unbound" sounds like the title of a Steve Reeves movie.
I'll probably break down and buy it anyway.

I would tend to doubt it, as place names can be very durable things -- I would guess the island of Ithaki. However, there is the counterexample of Scotia, which once meant Ireland and not Scotland, so I suppose the same thing might have happened to the Ithaca placename over the millenia.

There is scholarly debate over whether there even was a "Homer" who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. From what I have read, the Odyssey and the Iliad were not composed by Homer, but by another blind Greek poet with the same name.

"I propose a 100 per cent raise. ;')" I'm reminded of the song:
"something from nothing leaves nothing...you gotta have something if you wanna be with me."
100% of nothing is still nothing...

I feel a little guilty, as I've set my own salary to four times that much. ;')
