Abstract

In this article, we will try to understand how the description of space in Homer’s Odyssey contributes to the delimitation of an Hellenic identity during the ancient Iron Age. We will first analyze the first book of the so-called Telemachia, part of the Odyssey that narrates the journey of Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, to the kingdoms of Sparta and Pylos in search of news of his missing father. We believe that the young Ithacan’s journey will help us in our task of understanding the way through which the Greeks saw the place (topos) where they lived and what makes of it a place of identity (isotopia).
