Odysseus Returns

Ismini Describes Excavation

Ismini Milliaresis describes the dig that took place on her family's land on Kefalonia in 1992. The discovery of a large, beehive-shaped tomb raised hopes that this might be the final resting place of a Bronze-Age Mycenean king. After clearing the debris, archeologists expected to find burials. However, the floor of the tomb was empty … until they realized the floor was not really a floor.
