Homer's epics, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," are literary tales
steeped in historical realities. Although historians now accept
that there was an actual Trojan War, the enigma of Odysseus'
whereabouts during his twenty-year odyssey remains a subject of
debate. How could an experienced sea captain be disoriented for
such an extended period of time when he was supposedly within the
bounds of well-established Mediterranean trade routes? While
scholarship both ancient and modern has suggested that "The
Odyssey" was enacted far beyond the confines of the Mediterranean
littoral, "SUN BOAT" is the first to propose that Odysseus'
beleaguered voyaging eventuated in him completing a
circumnavigation of the globe c.1160 - 1130 B.C. With over 100
black and white illustrations, SUN BOAT presents a detailed account
of the marvellous locations Odysseus visited. Ancient, world
mythologies are deciphered to reveal an underpinning of historical
and geographical fact.
