Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an examination of the geographical framework of Homer's epics, particularly in relation to the Odyssey. The author argues that the island of Leukas, not Ithaca, is the true site of Odysseus' homeland, and that the other islands of the Ionian archipelago were named differently in Homer's time. This theory is supported by an analysis of the relevant passages in the Odyssey, as well as by a study of the historical geography of the region. The author also examines the broader themes of the Odyssey, such as the hero's return home and the importance of fate, and argues that the epic is a profound meditation on the human condition. This book offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most enduring works of Western literature, and will be of interest to anyone interested in Homer, the Odyssey, or the history of the ancient Mediterranean.
