| 978-1-59333-798-8 | Halliburton, Richard. The Glorious Adventure
In this, Halliburton’s second book of travel-writings, he set out to follow the footsteps of Ulysses. Noting the mythological nature of the Odyssey, Halliburton nevertheless attempted to discern with scholarly accuracy the likely location of the famous events from the great Homeric epic. Chapter by chapter he made his way through scenes imaged to be those of the fabled Ulysses, including Acropolitis, Marathon, Troy, the Lotus Land, and even the Cyclops’ Cave. Filled with a romantic notion of classical antiquity and a bombastic self-confidence, this travelogue takes readers to locations far from the common tourist destinations, but near to the regions of Hellenistic imagination.
