Island of Odysseus
GLORY IN THE HIGHEST: A Greek Orthodox church in the village of Exogi, which sits on one of Ithaca's mountains Pictures: GETTY/GALLO IMAGES NO KIDDING: Goats abound on Ithaca and their bells are part of the island's background chorus Picture: INPRA RELIGIOUS OVERTONES: A street in Gaios on Paxi, one of the Ionian Islands; and, left, a fresco in the church of Agios Nikolaos on Lesvos By Stanley Stewart 8/5/2011 “The island is precipitous. Roads teeter above the sea, offering new vistas at every bend” The olive groves and goats are still there, but like Homer’s hero, most Ithacans are somewhere else, writes Stanley Stewart. After 40 years of marriage, Nicholas and his wife had grown to resemble one another.
