Ithica Greece
Odysseus was the King of Ithaca, an independent island kingdom in what is now Greece.
You’ve mentioned some of the most well-known figures, but Greek mythology is full of others too like Zeus, Hera, Athena, and Hercules, who all played major roles in different myths and legends. It’s interesting how these stories were originally passed down through oral tradition before being written down. I recently read something about why calls still matter in communication , and it made me think about how storytelling and direct communication have always been important — even going back to ancient cultures like Greece.
the odyssey was about Odysseus's adventure's in Greece wasn't it? so wasnt it somewhere in Greece? i could be wrong.
It was the home of Odysseus.

Odysseus and Ulysses were the same person, Odysseus was his Greek name and Ulysses his Roman name. He was the wily king of Ithaca in southern Greece.
Yes, Odysseus' father is Laertes. However, in ancient Greece, all kings come from the line of Zeus. Therefore, in a sense, Zeus is also Odysseus' father. =)
