    38. Ismini Miliaresis

    About Kefalonia, Roman baths, and the search for the real Odysseus. The documentary Odysseus Returns premiered on PBS in August of 2024. The description of the film on the PBS website reads as follows: “An amateur historian, Makis Metaxas, claims he found the bones of Odysseus, the hero of Homer’s epic poem, the Odyssey. But the discovery is soon embroiled in controversy, and Makis embarks on his own odyssey to convince the world he is right.”  Ismini Miliaresis appears in this documentary, not only as an expert in the field of classical archaeology but also as someone who has a fascinating personal connection to this story. Ismini received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. After working as an engineer for several years, she returned to school and completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Virginia. She has published articles about the Stabian Baths of Pompeii and the Forum Baths of Ostia, and she has taught at such institutions as the American University of Rome, the University of Missouri, and the University of Virginia.   Recorded in November of 2024 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quintilian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is supported by a Bridge Initiative Grant from the Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek, a division of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Classical Association of the Middle West and South⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
