According to Doerpfeld and his theory of Homeric Ithaca, the cave houses the pigsty of Eumaeus, the trusted shepherd of Odysseus. Research in the cave at the beginning of the 20th century revealed a number of finds of vessels and tools from the Neolithic era, the Bronze Age and later periods up to the Classical period and it seems to have been a place of residence. Internally, it is 16 meters long and 13 meters wide and forms three cavities. The finds are kept in the Archaeological Museum of Lefkada.
