should i rabbithole into what the homeric ithake was placed or should i just go with the average consensus of ithaki is ithake? thinking about this so much...
I mean why not? There is no real reason why not besides we discovered the ruins of a building that fits the description plus worship center of his cult and so on and so forth.
Why would Homer add a totally different place than the one that has the name? I understand the debate over Ogygia that is not corresponding to some location but Ithaca? We have the name in antiquity plus we have worship signs that show the ancient Greeks connect the island to Odysseus etc
The vague mentions of the Odyssey could be anything "the farthest to the west in the sea" doesn't need to be the island compared to all others. It could be compared to the rest of the Greek kingdoms especially those that got to the Trojan War. Odysseus kingdom is indeed the furthest to the west that the rest and is in the sea. It is rocky and yet furtile. We also do not have much space for horses as Telemachus said (as opposed to Cephallonia that has a population of wild horses or semi-wild horses) etc. To me I see no reason why not say that mythical Ithaca is not the actual Ithaca. We do not even have a myth to indicate a transaction or anything as for whether the Cephallenian peninsula once being an island not only does it seem "awfully convenient" haha but also I see no reason why would Homer know that too (I mean I wonder if it WAS an island in Homer's time or if he would be hinting some older story) and as I said I see no reason why not actual Ithaca being the homeric Ithaca
i just want to see what people say, because i do think ithaki is ithake too, is just seeing what have been the theories to see them. I'm not demereting the isle ok?
For example there are many strange ideas out there and I just want to see if the ones related to ithake are that weird or can hold some water, nothing more.

people who learned about greek mythology due reasons that DONT involve having read percy jackson at 12 freak me out, like what the FUCK was going on in your life that you found out that zeus turned into a pigeon to woo his wife like HOW
I know this post is an engagement bait but I am too a bit of a dumb fish.
By means of luck and happenstance, I had this marvelous book of Greek Myths by Nikolay Kun, a local historian. While I'd say the myths were presented with much more of a "linear" approach than true mythology presents, it was a great jumping off point. My edition was accompanied with photographs of classical art and paintings.
Aside from that, mythology was somewhat included into my 5th grade pre-history course before we started discussing politics. There was a small segment where we briefly went over mythological beliefs of Egypt, Greece, and Rome before the actual historical study began in school.
PJO has not even happened upon me until much later on, I do not believe it was as much of a cultural phenomenon outside of America.
Okay, if we're doing this now, at the age of about 11, once I'd read my way through all the Henry Treece and Rosemary Sutcliffe novels in our local library, my dad lent me his copy of Mary Renault's The King Must Die. I don't think he quite understood what the consequences would be, but just before he died he told me how proud he was of what I'd chosen to do with my life and I told him that it was all his fault, him and Mary Renault.
