Ithaque (French for Ithaca) was one of three short-lived French départements in present Greece. It came into existence after Napoleon's conquest in 1797 of the Republic of Venice, when Venetian possessions such as the Ionian islands feel to the French Directory. It included the islands of Ithaca, Kefalonia and Lefkada, as well as small part of the adjacent mainland. Its prefecture was at Argostoli. The islands were lost to Russia in 1798 and the département was officially disbanded in 1802. During the renewed French control of the former Septinsular Republic in 1807-1809, the département was not re-established. Instead, the area was incorporated in the Illyrian provinces. The two main islands still form a single adminsitrative unit, the Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture, in modern Greece.
