As the days go by, we'll get deeper and deeper into the Odyssey. In Book V, we finally meet Odysseus himself, who is captive on Calypso's island. It's in this section of the text - Books V-XII - that we encounter the most well-known events of The Odyssey, including the Cyclops, the Sirens, Circe, and the Cattle of the Sun God.
In between assignments, check out this link to a Google Earth map of Odysseus's travels. You can even zoom in on present-day Ithaca. Look at all the zig-zagging he does! I'm frustrated for him.
