In Russian it's rather Latin-style, too (to the degree allowed for by the
transliteration rules): Itaka. I suspect that in some very old editions
one may also come across Ifaka (with theta=fita for /f/).

I thought that _th_ and _t_ sounding the same in French, "Ithacan" (or what
is the correct adjective?) might be what "Itakian" reverberated for
Christophe ;).

But I don't remember if I've ever seen this name in French.

Ithaque?

And what's the adjective? Ithacien? Ithakien?

Basilius,
Puzzled by the question: what's the right adjective in Russian ? :)
