from The Eric Metaxas Show Hosted by Metaxas Media

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric returns from Greece with a remarkable update on a story he has followed for more than three decades: the search for the historical world behind Homer’s Odysseus.Eric recounts how researchers used details in The Iliad and The Odyssey to identify a location on Kefalonia, where archaeologists later uncovered a major Mycenaean tomb. He discusses a seal stone found at the site that he says bears imagery resembling a description in The Odyssey, his frustration with the way the discovery has been handled, and the new development that the site believed to contain Odysseus’s palace may finally be excavated.Later, John Zmirak joins Eric to discuss Milo Yiannopoulos, Islam and Christianity, immigration and free speech in Europe, and Gloria Steinem’s legacy.
