The Ithaca of Odysseus discovered A fascinating story that complements Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of Troy in 1871 has appeared in the press today. To quote from Nasa’s pre-press announcement:-
The story as released to the press in greater detail is reported by The Times thus:-
I don’t think it is necessary for me to add anything to that, except that Homeric Myth emerges from historical fact with a beauty and force that is awe-inspiring. Shortly I am going to download the 45mb World Wind programme and find out how awe-inspiring that is. The full story of Robert Bittlestone and Prof Diggle’s discovery can be read in their book, Odysseus Unbound (also available from Amazon, I believe). Here for your delectation are some images of modern-day Paliki:- Comments:2

I read both Homeric stories when I was about 18 and was utterly captivated by them. Good to see a little of what he was talking about.
