Since the 19th century, the legend of Jack the Ripper has terrorized people’s minds. The London-based serial killer was known for ripping out prostitutes’ throats and stomachs in the East End of London. The identity of Jack the Ripper, on the other hand, was never established. Many journalists claimed to have obtained a confession from the perpetrator, but the stories were never verified and were always proven to be a hoax.

Odysseus

In Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, Odysseus is the main character. After Troy’s fall, Odysseus, also known as Ulysses, took 10 years to return home. Many doubt his adventures’ authenticity, but a recent archaeological find suggests that his story may be true. The archeologist discovered the remains of a three-story building and a well dating from the 8th century BC, which correspond to Odysseus and his epic tale, implying that his exploits are true.
