Trace the Route of Odysseus on a Map

After his victory at Troy, Ulysses wandered the waters of the Mediterranean Sea for a decade before returning to his beloved Ithaca, where his wife and child were waiting for him. Can you retrace his journey by naming the countries in which he stopped, from Troy to Ithaca? Good luck!
Some of the imprecise locations in Homer's work are open to debate.

I haven't been as active on JetPunk recently so this totally escaped my view. Incredible quiz though! I think you did an amazing job reworking my concept into something new :)

Thank you so much, it means a lot from you! I remembered when we talked about eventual Tolkien's world versions. In the end the fictional part of the series started with Greek Mythology. Thank you a lot for the inspiration, you deserve to be credited for this quiz as much as me.

So let me get this straight....He spends ten years touring the Med before returning home to his "beloved" wife and child, who presumably isn't that much of a child anymore.

Was she still waiting?

Was she really "beloved"?

How did he spend ten years in the Med and not visit the Aegean?

Surely he could have stopped of and picked here up on his way out of Troy?

Anyway, cool quiz, nominated mon ami!

Thank you very much!

When seven out of these ten years are about staying on Calypso's island, I guess it makes a bit more sense, haha !
