The German archaeologist Wilhelm Dörpfeld, having examined the geographical descriptions of Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey believed that Lefkada was Homer's Ithaca, and that the palace of Odysseus was located west of Nydri on the south coast of Lefkada. He performed extensive excavations at Nydri and uncovered Mycenaean tombs, walls, ruins and artefacts which supported his hypothesis. Dörpfeld spent the last years of his life at Nydri and he is buried there.

gollark: You would have to have a server of some sort store the notifications so the device can ask for them later.
gollark: Well, you can't, because it's off.
gollark: You could make it track closer to the terrain and possibly use less processing power by making it only check the stuff roughly under its path.
gollark: So just "go X above highest block in the local area"? That seems simple and relatively sensible.
