Meanwhile, Somewhere on the Wine Dark Sea

Riddle of Homer's Odyssey island solved?�|�World News�|�Reuters.co.uk: "LONDON (Reuters) - British history sleuths say they have uncovered new geological evidence to solve one of the great riddles of ancient Greece -- pinpointing the ancient island of Ithaca, home of Homer's legendary hero Odysseus.

'We are one step closer to solving the age-old mystery,' said management consultant Robert Bittlestone who has worked with professors of classics and geology to piece together an intriguing archaeological jigsaw puzzle.

Finding Ithaca could rival the discovery of ancient Troy on the Turkish coast in the 1870s."
