“The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, renowned translator Robert Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.”

Placing the Odyssey’s locales is difficult. There are several different versions competing, all backed by serious critics.
One new book actually suggests that Troy was located in England!
I’ve included two versions here. The Odyssey_A. V2.kmz is a very traditional, Greek-mainland-centric version. The Odyssey_B V2.kmz is a more modern, Mediterranean-wide version. My preference is the second version as it lines up better with Virgil and makes more sense in some key spots.
