| Tomb of Ulysses Discovered |
| 2005-09-27 |
| POROS, Island of Kefalonia, Greece - The tomb of Odysseus has been found, and the location of his legendary capital city of Ithaca discovered here on this large island across a one-mile channel from the bone-dry islet that modern maps call Ithaca. This could be the most important archeological discovery of the last 40 years, a find that may eventually equal the German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann’s 19th Century dig at Troy... |

| #17 Iff they're lucky, the world will find LUCIFER/SATAN's tomb before he wakes up - you know how grumpy in the AM giant Velociraptors of the Apocalypse can get. |

| #16 NOSTRADAMUS -"...the last but one of many Names, he will choose Odysseus as his namesake". Hey Madonna, they found one of Daddy's tombs!? |

| #14 The Odyssey was basically a psychological story of the unconscious, if ya ask me. But, where are the Sirens and their beautiful songs? One of the 10 top things to do before one checks out. |

| #12 Wait until they find out that it wasn't Ulysses, but another man of the same name. |

| #11 It seems the tomb was discovered in 1991 but kept secret because the location of the real Ithaca would take tourists away from the place that now has the name. The full story is quite interesting. |

| #10 Thank you Muck. Praise from the master is praise indeed. More seriously, doesn't James Joyce (his estate) still have the copyright? |

| #3 Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! So cool. And to think that I just finished reading the Iliad and the Odessy so Odysseus is more than a name to me for the first time. I am so excited. |
