Who needs the film when you can search for Ithaca among the books in the Portico collection on this tour?

Take a tour of translations of the Odyssey, from Chapman to Emily Wilson, and discover how the Victorians actually discovered Bronze Age Greece in excavation and text. Cultural historian Dr Debbie Challis, resident expert on Alex Andreou’s “Podyssey” on Greek myth, will guide you on a journey around the Portico’s collections and promises that it won’t take as long as Odysseus’ homecoming.
