Like trying to figure out where the Hobbit takes place.
On a side note, just re-read the Odyssey earlier this year - more fun than when I had to read it in high school 50+ years ago.
Um, not exactly so. They once thought Troy was fiction. It’s something like historical fiction, but that is an anachronistic category.
