How long does it take to sail across the Aegean?

Well, if we go through Lisbon's mythical foundation, Odysseus sure was lost. Lisbon's ancient name "Olissipo" was said to have been founded by Odysseus, since we call him Ulisses (Olisses = Olissipo). Some say he went to Italy, some say to Iberia, I say... What about...ALIEN ABDUCTION? :o

I once saw a map someone drew up showing his course and the locations of all the places and it showed him going to Pontos, sailing up the Danube, then crossing Illyria, and going to Italy. Don't know where the ideas for the map came from...

I'm pretty sure he did cross the strait of Sikilia (Scylla and Charybdis) and Kirke could have been at the Balearic Islands. Who knows? -shrug-

So, with really bad navigation it can take a while...

Yeah, especially when you drink too much Thracian wine and smoke weird stuff you sacked in Troy. You get to think of weird stories about chicks that turn people into swines and a God of Winds that gave you a magic bag.
