Mapping the Odyssey



To understand the geography of the Odyssey, you can use an excellent, annotated map from Google Earth (see the image above). To take the tour of Odysseus's journey: 1) download the Google Earth file here; 2) if you don't have Google Earth (it's free), you can download it here; 3) use Google Earth to open the Odysseus file that you downloaded.

Once you've opened up the file in Google Earth you can point and click around the map to read the annotations or you can click on "play tour" to have Google Earth take you on a tour of Odysseus's journey.

Enjoy!
