The Odyssey: A Mythical Journey
$21.99
The Original Mediterranean Adventure
Homer’s The Odyssey is full of gods, monsters, bad decisions and an impressively long route home. This fold-out guide plots the real-world locations associated with Odysseus and his crew, matching mythological islands and cursed straits to places you can visit today.
Follow the scholarship behind Troy, the Laestrygonians, Stromboli, Scylla and Charybdis, then consult the cast list when the gods, mortals and monsters start blurring together. Mythology, geography, and a journey home that makes modern travel delays look merciful.
