According to Tim Severin's research into the journeys of the Iliad and The Odyssey, in the mid 1980s, for his own expeditions in a replica 20-oared bronze Age galley - the most likely place that fitted the physical descirpitions, - after an exhaustive examination of all the historic clues and the existing geography, - was the little harbour of today's Mezapos. The little settlement that exists today around the harbour is of comparatively-recent date, and was isolated by land routes until the 1920's when a useable road was built. Back in the Bronze Age, in the 9th C BC, it is quite possible that a cannibal tribe existed there, scraping a living from a combination of nomadic herding and subsistance agriculture, - isolated from other communities, at this SW tip of the peninsula.
