Title: The secret code of the Odyssey
Description: The Author analysis the route Odysseus followed to travel back to his island and family after the Trojan war. Pillot believes that the real purpose of the Odyssey is as a navigation aid for sailing the North Atlantic islands, written in a coded form so others could not use it. The Author convincingly brings the past to life describing the detail of the long return trip.
