The Odusseis, in asserting that Ithake is farthest out to sea of the Ionian islands, would suggest identification with Melite. It would seem that the Iliad would have been taken as a description of the occupation, by the Peoples of the Sea (= Italians), of the countries [in Hesperia / Hispania] of the ILergetes and the ILercaones, until ILion became identified as Kestrine of the ILLures (Albania).
