Read all information carefully. Your knowledge will be tested.

The odyssey is set here

The Odyssey is an epic poem attributed to the poet Homer. Its story takes place in ancient Greece. Consisting of a large mainland and hundreds of islands, the ancient Greek world stretched from continental Europe to the western region of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) with the Ionian Sea located to the west, the Aegean Sea situated in the east, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Odysseus, the main character and heroic figure of Homer’s Odyssey, ruled over Ithaca, an island in the Ionian Sea.
