The theory could explain inconsistencies between Ithaki and Homer's description of Odysseus' island.

Maybe Homer's blindness played a part.

Ithaca is in New York which is not that far from Springfield if you take the I95.

In Homer's day, which is before writing, nobody said anything unless it was in poetic form. Prose didn't get going until much later.
