 Robert Graves elaborated on this hypothesis in his novel "Homer's Daughter".A minority view is that the landfalls of Odysseus were inspired by places on a much shorter itinerary along the coast of Greece itself.One of the earliest to suggest any locations here was the 2nd century AD geographer Pausanias who, in his "Description of Greece", suggested that the nekyia took place at the river Acheron in north west Greece, where the Necromanteion was subsequently built.
