Odysseus lived 3,250 years ago and 500 years later Homer wrote down his story. In his book 'Iliad' Homer describes the fall of Troy and in 'Odyssey' he tells the story of Odysseus' 10-year odyssey. Since then, many generations went by, the world changed, battles were fought, names were forgotten, stories faded, leading to a gap in history.
Homer's books, however, survived almost 28 centuries as a de facto time capsule. As a result of the hiatus in history, for a long time it was uncertain whether Homer's stories were fact or fiction. The excavation of Troy by Heinrich Sliemann in the nineteenth century cleared that up. Sliemann believed Troy had existed and looked for clues in Homer's books, which was an inspired idea, because following the clues it turned out Troy wasn't all that difficult to find.
Many of the ancient sites mentioned in Homer's books have been discovered, but curiously, the location of Odysseus' island Ithaca remained a mystery. Of course, throughout the ages many theories about the location of Ithaca have seen the light, of which Found!Doulichion is one. However, Found!Doulichion not only extensively explores and ultimately reveals the likely location of Ithaca, it also shows where the other islands of Odysseus might be found and, moreover, it makes a very compelling case of where the mysterious island of Doulichion might have been. Plus much more!
