Annotation
Odysseus' homeland of Ithaca, a breathtakingly beautiful island in the Ionian Sea, still attracts visitors who are intrigued by Homer's epic adventure. But can we connect today's Ithaca to the romantic island of Homer's Odyssey? Was Odysseus a real or a mythological figure? Architect and artist Jane Cochrane sets out to answer these questions while also describing the tale of her own long-standing connection with the island and the friendships made over the years within its tight-knit community. Combining thorough academic research with a sleuth's eye for detail, Jane uncovers the ancient history behind the island, inviting the reader to walk the old Homeric paths in the footsteps of Odysseus.
