THE HISTORY
In
Odyssey the two Islands: Same and Dulichion belonged to Itacas’ Kingdom.
During VI and V century b.c. Corinto was very influential in this Island
as well as in Corfu too but this situation lasted until 456 when Tolmide
compelled the Island to form an alliance with Athens.
In
that time rose in Cefalonia the Cities – State of Same, Pronni, Crane
and Pale. During the III century the Island formed an alliance with
Aetolia; it took part in a
war against Philip V of Macedonia in 220 – 217 b.c. and against Rome,
coming under its jurisdiction in 189 b.c. According to recent studies they
told that S. Paul travelling Rome didn’t get ashore at Malta but at
Cefalonia
