Claim: Theodore Spyropoulos has not made any significant discoveries in his lifetime.
Evidence: This has led Spyropoulos to believe that his excavations uncovered the lost Homeric capital of Laconia. Spyropoulos discovered an alternative site for the palace of Menelaus at Pellana located 25 kilometers north of Sparta. Near Thebes, Spyropoulos excavated the supposed tomb of Amphion and Zethus between 1971 and 1973.
