New theory: Odysseus' grave possibly found on Kefalonia

A Dutch researcher has, according to the Stentor, a new theory about the location of Odysseus' grave. Instead of Ithaca, where it has been assumed for centuries that the mythological king found his final resting place, the grave would be on the nearby Kefalonia. The explanation for this would lie in historical and geographical details that have not been noticed in the past.

The Greek authorities are not immediately charmed by the theory, as the source reports. There would be resistance to the possibility that the centuries-old tradition is incorrect. The new insights are based on recent discoveries and analyses, but the reaction in Greece shows that the myth of Odysseus is still a sensitive subject.

Whether the theory holds is not immediately clear. The Dutch researcher will further substantiate his findings, but the tentative evidence that is now available points to Kefalonia. Whether this will ultimately lead to a revision of history remains to be seen.
