This is an interesting approach to a virtual field trip. Using Google Earth, a browser and your internet connection you are able to take a literature trip on your favourite story (well from the selection they have available) .

This one is Homer’s Odyssey Submitted by Matthew Hart, Granada High School, Livermore, CA.

Here is what they say

“Placing the Odyssey’s locales is difficult. There are several different versions competing, all backed by serious critics. One new book actually suggests that Troy was located in England!

I’ve included two versions here. The Odyssey-1B.kmz is a very traditional, Greek-mainland-centric version. The Odyssey-2B.kmz is a more modern, Mediterranean-wide version. My preference is the second version as it lines up better with Virgil and makes more sense in some key spots.”
