　　The story of Jason and the Argonauts and Homer’s tales of

Ulysses are among the greatest ancient epics, but are they merely

nautical legends or true stories?

Mauricio Obregón has combed through classical texts, focusing on

the smallest details, and with his intimate knowledge of historical

navigation, brilliantly reenacts the voyages the ancient heroes

actually traveled. Using the clues embedded in these epic tales,

Obregón deftly argues that many of the legends are not merely

fiction, but are, quite possibly, true adventures.
