Description

Was Homer's Odyssey entirely imaginary? Or did Ulysses make a real voyage home from the siege of Troy to Ithaca? In a gripping modern detective story Severin uses his replica of a Bronze Age galley to follow the clues which lead to a startling solution to the puzzle. Now for the first time, Ulysses' logical homeward route has been put to the practical test in a faithful replica of the type of ship used in Ulysses' era, and sailed by the rules of navigation at the time. The result is enthralling as Severin overturns all the orthodox theories, and in a remarkable series of discoveries charts the likely position of the Clashing Rocks, reveals where the cave of the legendary Cyclops would have been, and establishes the origins of the Ulysses' adventure...
