Trivia: Odysseus is trying to return to what Greek island in the “Odyssey”?
Mykonos
Santorini
Ithaca
Naxos
The correct answer is Ithaca
So why is this answer correct? : More than 2,700 years after Homer put pen to papyrus, Ithaca is still best known as the famous Ionian island home of its wayward king, Odysseus. Following the bloody events of Homer’s earlier work, “The Iliad,” “The Odyssey” follows the decade-long journey of its titular hero as he longs to return to his home and his wife, Penelope. Spoilers: He eventually makes it, but not before encountering lots of storms, swords, and sirens.
