No. Travel was hard and most people didn't go beyond 5 miles from home. Edit: Actually, people in the Middle Ages did travel. Pilgrimage was difficult, but reasonably common.

I believe the poem you're thinking of is The Odyssey. The piece is an Epic Poem written by the mysterious poet Homer. It relates the tale of Odysseus' homeward journey. After fighting in the Trojan War for ten years, Odysseus is cursed by the God Posiden to wander the ocean for another ten years before being allowed to return home. It's a fantastic tale that has been (and continued to be) referenced and recreated for thousands of years.
in the Trojan war the greek's pretended they had given up their siege of troy and pretended to go home, leaving a giant wooden horse behind as a supposed trophy but they hid greek warriors in the wooden horse so they were taken into the city with the horse. At night the greek warriors climbed ut of the horse, opened the city gates for the rest of the greek army that had now returned and they slaughtered the trojans in their beds.
Ulysses (aka Odysseus) was the King of Ithaca, which is an island on the west coast of Greece.
The hero that made his home on the Greek island of Ithaca is Odysseus

The god who raises a storm and destroys Odysseus's raft is Poseidon, the god of the sea and earthquakes in Greek mythology. Poseidon holds a grudge against Odysseus for blinding his son, the cyclops Polyphemus, and seeks to make his journey home as difficult as possible.

Calypso kept Odysseus from returning home for 7 years
He's the only Greek who survived the war who has not yet returned home.
I have been led to believe that Odysseus' most difficult journey was the one back home. He had to battle a cyclops, listen to beautiful voices and keep himself on the boat. That could not have been easy for him.
For the King of Itacha (one of the Greek islands), Odysseus, it took 10 years to get home after the Trojan War.
