It is clearly evident that the style of the hat is derived/influenced by Nordic culture therefore Odysseus was Polish.

Why took it so long, it’s just a hat that was used in Roman Empire and Eastern Mediterranean region, while it got forgotten or out of fashion in Greece or Italy, it still is used in more isolated mountain regions of Albania

I imagine it's just a convenient way to shield your head from the scorching sun.
That hat doesn't actually look like a standard pileus because it has a brim.

Greece after all is well know for being cold.

It's the precursor to the jew cap used in the middle ages and thus making Odysseus prototype for the wandering jew.
