This is an intriguing story of the author?s search for, and possible finding of, the Ithaca described in Homer?s Odyssey. The result is that the location found by the author fits all of the descriptions of Ithaca in the Odyssey (unlike the island currently referred to as Ithaca). In fact, it so matches the descriptions that the author concludes that ?Homer? must have been intimately familiar with ?Ithaca? to have made such precise descriptions. The author also has as explanation, supported by a geologist, as to why his ?Ithaca? is no longer an island, but once was. The author's arguments, while falling just short of compelling, are thorough, reasoned and logical; and his conclusions are not only possible, but, I think, probable. While the description sounds a little boring (and the answer to a question few of us have ever asked), the book is both interesting and entertaining. In its own way, it is the most interesting book I have read in years.
