Odysseus Greece Cruise and Tour

Journey of Odysseus Aboard Corinthian II Homer's epic is the definitive sea saga, reiterated and reinterpreted in many ways, from Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to Joyce's Ulysses to the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Sail to the Mediterranean realms Homer used as a map of the Greek mind: the crucible of Troy; the Palace of Nestor; Malta, the seductive isle of Calypso; Sicily of the Laestrygonians; Taormina, home to the Oxen of the Sun; and finally, Ithaca, home to Penelope and Odysseus.
