Abstract
The article explores the cultural significance of Homer's "The Odyssey" for the residents of Ithaka, particularly through the archaeological site known as the School of Homer, a Mycenaean-era palace complex. The site features a model that illustrates various elements from the epic, reinforcing local pride in Odysseus as a historical and cultural figure. The text discusses archaeological finds that suggest a long-standing reverence for Odysseus, despite the challenges of linking these finds directly to the narrative of "The Odyssey." Ultimately, the article emphasizes the themes of human ingenuity and resilience in the face of adversity as central to Odysseus' story and its lasting impact on Ithakan identity.
