Homer's Odyssey

Pages 886-972

My software won't

get Athens, Greece; it

gets Athens, Georgia.

Also, it doesn't get

specific to Troy, so Istanbul, being in Turkey, is as close as I can get.

"The smaller statue was the focus of a procession that occurred every four years, and part of the event was to bring a new 'peplos' or cloak to Athena. My sculpture depicts her carrying this cloak, a gift from the citizens of Athens, while her other hand holds a shield. On the shield is a motif of an olive leaf pattern, which can be interpreted as the Olympic laurel wreath."

(Lahanas)

This is a much simplified image of Odysseus' ship, which is of a type called "penteconter.:  Odysseus' ship carried fifty-eight men and could reach speeds of nine miles per hour under oars.

Obviously, from the image, they also had sails.

(Furlong)

Port of Frikes on Odysseus' island of Ithaka.  He sailed to Troy from such a beach as this.
