Follow Odysseus’ voyage home
For most, a journey home is a grey realm of in-flight movies and muffled sobs. Not for Odysseus, hero of Homer’s ancient Greek epic The Odyssey, whose island-hopping return from Troy took ten years, thanks to storms, monsters and a herd of divine livestock.
Travellers wishing to visit some of the isles on Odysseus’ route, and who don’t have a decade to spare, could focus on the final stretch of his journey.
