Salamis
The great hero of the Iliad, Aias son of Telamon, is given a mere two lines in the Catalogue of Ships (2.557-558). Since ancient times this has led to speculation that the Catalogue was meddled with or "edited", in Solon's or Peisistratos' day (sixth century BC), to bring him closer to the Athenians, who wished to bathe in his glory.
The ancient city of Salamis was deserted in Strabo's day. It faced towards Aigina (Aegina) and the south wind (9.1.9). In 2000 a major Mycenaean settlement (13th c. BC) was discovered at Kanakia by Professor Yannos G. Lolos of the University of Ioannina. It was the first large Mycenaean settlement to be located on the island. He identified it with the old Salamis of Strabo, and thus led him to the belief that this was the palace of the Homeric Aias. The site was abandoned at the end of the Mycenaean age and never reoccupied. Its mythological status may have persisted while the new, historical Salamis of Homer's day, had moved to "the city of today situated on a gulf, on a peninsula-like place which borders on Attica" (Strabo 9.1.9). Many impressive finds from Kanakia are displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Salamina, and some are pictured in the video below.
