Odysseus's Journey, Mapped on the Real Mediterranean
Made a cheatsheet and coordinates so we can drop pins in Google My Maps together — the loop around Sicily is wild to see.
A hands-on mapping activity plotting the 14 legendary stops of the Odyssey — Troy, the Lotus-Eaters, the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, Calypso's island, and home to Ithaca — onto their traditionally-cited real locations across the Mediterranean. The exact route is debated by scholars; the mapping is legendary, not historical.
