Zakynthos is a tourist destination, and has clubs and bars, and hosts
events including The Rum and Raybands Boat Party, Total Karnage and The
White Party. The island's nickname is To fioro tou Levante (it:Il fiore
di Levante, en:The flower of the East), given by the Venetians.
The famous ancient Greek poet and writer, Homer, first mentioned the
island in his masterpieces, the Iliad and the Odyssey, stating that the
first inhabitants of it were the son of King Dardanos of Troy called
Zakynthos and his men and that they first came on the island around
1500–1600 BC[citation needed].
The island was then conquered by the Great Imperial King Arkeisios of
Kefalonia. The famous Ulysses (Odysseus in Greek) from Ithaca was the
next King to conquer the island.
Later on, a treaty was signed that made Zakynthos an independent
democracy, the first established in the Hell area, that lasted more than
650 years.
