Tim Severin
Once again making use of the "Argo" from "The Jason Voyage", in 1985 Severin followed the route of Ulysses' voyage home in "The Odyssey", from Troy to Ithaca in the Ionian islands. Along the way, Severin made tentative or conclusive identifications of The land of the Lotus-eaters, King Nestor's palace, the Halls of Hades, the Roving RocksScylla and Charybdis and also the sirens. "The Ulysses Voyage", published in 1987, tells the story of the expedition, the historical research that went into it, and the discoveries Severin and his crew made along the way.
