The inscription is a replica of an archaeological find. In the nearby Loizos Cave (in the bay of Polis), a fragment of a female clay bust from the 2nd or 1st century BC with this exact text was found.
This find is considered one of the most important on Ithaca, as it proves that Odysseus was worshipped there as a divine hero for centuries.
