Was Odysseus a real person? Why, of course!

 This video documentary from PBS is about a Greek amateur historian, Makis Metaxas, who 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."

(There is only one episode; it is not a series.)
