Robert Bittlestone
The low-lying peninsula of Paliki, seen in this view from Kastelli, was once
a separate island. In a new book, amateur archaeologist Robert Bittlestone
claims that it was the site of ancient Ithaca, home of Odysseus in Homer's
"Odyssey."

On this website you can learn more about this extraordinary discovery. You
can find out how the breakthrough was made and learn about the book that
has been written to describe it:
Odysseus
Unbound: The Search for Homer's Ithaca. You can read the latest
news about the project since the book went to press and hear about the technology
that is being used to unravel this detective trail of literary, geological
and archaeological clues. If you are a geologist, a classicist or an
archaeologist yourself, or an expert with other skills that you believe might
help us, we would like to hear from you. And if you are an individual or
an organisation who would like to consider funding some part of this remarkable
journey of discovery, the
Contact pages
will tell you how to get in touch.
Odysseus' island is no longer a fantasy. Over a century after Schliemann
uncovered Troy, this breakthrough will revolutionise our understanding of
Homer's texts and our cultural ancestors in Bronze Age Greece.
