Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:A new archeological project has uncovered artifacts that have helped identify the location of a centuries-old “hero-cult site” devoted to Odysseus, the famous Ithacan of Homer's Odyssey. Turns out, Odysseus might’ve had groupies. On the Greek island of Ithaca, archaeologists recently uncovered new evidence that suggests ancient travelers once made real-life pilgrimages to the supposed home of Odysseus, Homer’s famous wanderer from the epic poem, The Odyssey. According to Greek City Times, archaeologists found artifacts and inscriptions that point to the former existence of the Odysseion, a shrine or “hero cult site” devoted to Odysseus. With a new, big-budget retelling of Homer’s Odyssey on the horizon, perhaps a whole new cadre of devotees will make their way to Ithaca once more.
