It has been said the Odysseus voyage back to his ancestral home of Ithaka is nothing more that a trip around Sicily. If true then he and is crew seem to be inept sailors even allowing for a limitation of ships and navigation tools in ancient times. Perhaps Homer (or the storytellers who told Homeric poems) were familiar with this area and this could give more resonance to their tales.
In this article we shall look at the route taken by both Odysseus and Jason and determine what similarities and differences marked their voyages
