- Not to be confused with Samos
Same , also Samos (Σάμος) is an
Ancient Greek name of a
Homeric island in the
Ionian Sea, near
Ithaca and
Cephalonia. In Homer's
Odyssey Same is described as part of
Odysseus's kingdom together with Ithaca,
Dulichium, and
Zacynthus. The
Iliad, book II, in the
Catalogue of Ships, contains a different list of islands comprising Odysseus's kingdom. Same is included together with Ithaca,
Neritum,
Krocylea,
Aegilips and Zacynthus, indicating that the "Catalogue of Ships" could be a later addition to the Iliad.
