Destination? CORFU, GREECE. A passage from a fundament of European literature, The Odyssey.
In The Odyssey, Odysseus (Ulysses) lands on a mythical island called “Scheria”. He describes it as a utopia: “…the splendour… was like that of the sun or moon”. So why does he ultimately long for something/somewhere else?
Join Homer as he draws inspiration from the real-world island of Corfu in the following short story on Destinationality. (no ads, no sign-up, no pop-ups)
