      I thought this was a nice way to celebrate the release of The Odyssey at the cinemas (a movie which I enjoyed though it has some heavy flaws)

      There is a theory that he actually travelled all of atlantic. I watched it from a video of Lanter Jack I think, really good video. I would recommend it

      The navigator must be so bad if they took this big of detours. I’ve heard of places he’s stopped by, but I didn’t realize how all over the Mediterranean sea they are.

      To be clear, Odysseus’s route is highly speculative. The actual story is quite vague on locations outside of Greece and Troy. It’s not at all clear that Homer always had real locations in mind.

      NOTE: Keep in mind there are many different reconstructions of the journey, this was my personal one (based mostly on ancient sources though they also disagree). For example, I follow the traditional position of Circe at Circeo but I made it an island to respect what Homer says (and I created a custom island for Ogygia. In the website there is a more detailed explanation, but even here at every stop it is indicated the degree of “certainty” of the position

      I love how the website and the flavor text is clearly written by Claude. The content itself is pretty good though

      Odysseus rolled a nat 1 on his navigation check and almost got his whole party wiped.

      Interesting map, but it’s important to remember that many of the locations featured in the *Odyssey* can’t be placed in real-world locations without making major compromises with the text. For example, the island where Odysseus encounters the Cyclopes is traditionally associated with Sicily, but the text itself does not name the island. The association of the Cyclopes with Sicily probably started with the 5th century playwright Euripides, probably because he wanted to draw attention to the catastrophic war in Sicily that Athens was involved with.

      Outside of the well-attested locations like Troy, Ithaca, and Sparta, few of the locations mentioned in the poem can be said to be real, to borrow a quote from the 3rd century geographer Eratosthenes: „You will find the scene of Odysseus‘ wanderings when you find the cobbler who sewed up the bag of winds.“ Personally, I think trying to reconcile the poem with real-world dates and locations means missing the deeper meanings of the story.

      I forget, Poseidon gets pissed and blows them WAY off course, that’s why the end up near the Lotus Eaters, right?

      So after that they are more or less sailing vaguely in the right direction but in reality they are totally lost.

      After the Sun god’s island Odysseus is basically thrown off to the most isolated and far flung place the gods possibly could, which makes sense that it would be at the very end of the Mediterranean.

      I think this makes an interesting idea that the Greek gods basically only ever ruled over the Mediterranean, so if you left the sea, you’d be in some other God’s domain, so while the gods could exile Odysseus, it’s better to keep him trapped under their control.

      I always took Ogygia as the island of Gozo (in Malta), the map makes a lot more sense when you add that as stop 13.

      Don’t remember where I read this honestly its been years, but I am Maltese and I’ve seen Calypso mentioned all over the place in Gozo

      I was wondering when this map, well not this one specifically this one is really cool, was going to start popping up with the movie coming out.

      I was looking up the various forms of this map when „Epic“ finished its final act in the concept album and never saw anything this nice.

      Still crazy to see how far he traveled.
