Recent archeological discoveries on Palagruza prove that the island fascinated the Greek hero Diomedes, survivor of the Trojan War and one of the most famous Greek warriors along with Odysseus. After the Trojan War, Diomedes made his way to the Adriatic where he fought the Ilyrians. It is believed that Diomedes' final resting place is on the island. Legend has it that, after Ilyrians killed Diomedes' warriors, Zeus transformed their souls into birds. Ever since, they have been guarding the Trojan hero's grave. |
