 Odysseus's Ithaca is usually identified with the island traditionally called "Thiaki" and now officially renamed Ithake, but some scholars have argued that Odysseus's Ithaca is actually Leucas, and others identify it with the whole or part of Cephalonia.Lately, Robert Bittlestone, in his book "Odysseus Unbound", has identified the Paliki peninsula on Cephalonia with Homeric Ithaca.The geography of the "Apologoi" (the tale that Odysseus told to the Phaeacians, forming books 9-12 of the "Odyssey"), and the location of the Phaeacians' own island of Scheria, pose quite different problems from those encountered in identifying Troy, Mycenae, Pylos and Ithaca.
