Severin and his crew sailed a hand-built Bronze Age galley across the Mediterranean, testing whether the mythical voyage of the ancient Greek hero could have been a genuine historical journey rather than pure legend. Written with the immediacy of a seafaring log and the rigor of an archaeological investigation, the narrative uncovers compelling geographical and historical evidence that grounds Homer's epic in the real landscapes of Greece and the broader Mediterranean world. Severin argues persuasively that the monsters, islands, and storms of the ancient poem correspond to identifiable real-world locations, bringing the ancient myth to vivid, tangible life. The result is a thrilling account that will captivate both lovers of classical antiquity and readers drawn to tales of daring exploration on the open sea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887840800987,"sku":"2026200007729-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4367a150-fedc-41f5-9598-b5bc55107907.png?v=1781747104","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007729-secondhand-the-ulysses-voyage-sea-search-for-the-odyssey","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
