Description
We Followed Odysseus is the story of two
legendary sailors--one from the ancient world, the other from
today. Set against the backdrop of Homer's great tale, Hal Roth
tells the fascinating story of sailing a small boat in the wake of
Odysseus. Crossing oceans and seas in pursuit of his goal, Roth,
with the help of his wife, Margaret, retraces the voyages of
Odysseus along the Turkish coast and the storybook isles of
Greece. Then he sails to a desert island in Tunisia, visits Sicily
and Corsica, and finally goes to Italy and Malta before returning
to Greece. While writing this book back in the U.S., Roth talked
to hundreds of people and discovered that though most have heard
about Odysseus and the Trojan horse, they have never read The
Iliad or The Odyssey
