myrtoan sea
lefkada is connected today to mainland greece by a causeway and floating bridge, but in ancient times, it was connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land, making it a peninsula rather than an island. the strip of land was cut through by the corinthians in the 7th century bce. modern geographers and hydrographers, however, have claimed that ancient lefkada was an island. they noted that the causeway that connects it to the mainland today is a recent product of silting in the channel and so lefkada may have experienced varying degrees of connection with the mainland over the last few thousand years. dörpfeld may have believed that lefkada was a freestanding island (or was regarded as such) at the time of homer’s descriptions, in accordance with the above passage. dörpfeld may also have felt that the difficulty of crossing the narrow causeway was referred to in homer's enigmatic and repeated jest, "for nowise, methinks, didst thou come hither on foot".homer, "odyssey" 14.190, 16.224. in 1912-1914, dörpfeld obtained permission from the king of greece to excavate the area of kardaki temple, because it was part of the king's vacation home of mon repos. dörpfeld published his results in two brief notes without illustrations in the "archöologischer anzeiger". he also excavated the temple of hera in corfu.
