Makis Finds the Tomb

Makis Metaxas believes Odysseus' kingdom was in his hometown on the island of Kefalonia. In 1991, while he was mayor of the small port of Poros, he and his wife Hettie Metaxas-Putman Cramer read geographic clues in Homer to develop a theory on the location of the ancient kingdom of Ithaca. Then Makis spent six months walking around looking for the large rocks used in Mycenaean buildings.
