A Travel Guide to Homer: On the Trail of Odysseus Through Turkey and the Mediterranean

I look forward to reading this while traveling in Turkey and visiting some of the sites! Thank you.

having lived the trail in past years, the book is a fabulous read. the author must have examined all the territory given all his books on this subject matter.

Excellent

What a pleasure to read John Freely's guide to the Homeric sites! His knowledge of the texts is profound and is illuminated by a lifetime of exploration and reflection. Freely is one of the great writers of popular history--in the best sense of the term. Like Kenneth Clark, he wears his scholarship lightly, writing with depth but also with an unpretentious, urbane charm.

According to page 3 – see Look inside⤵ – Pylos was in the north-western corner of the Peloponnesos. But the remains of Homer’s ‘sandy Pylos’ are actually in the south-western corner of the Peloponnesos. Subsequently corrected to “Sudwestern der Peloponnes” in the 2016 German translation “Zurück nach Ithaka” (p 11), perhaps by the translator Jörg Fündling.
