Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca
under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves,
in sight of other islands—Dulichium,
Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca
being most lofty in that coastal sea,
and northwest, while the rest lie east and south.
A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training;
I shall not see on earth a place more dear,

Read a student’s paraphrase of the excerpt.

Odysseus’s home is Ithaca, a rocky island surrounded by other islands. Odysseus considers Ithaca a great place in which to grow up.

Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.
Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.
The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.
Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.
