Show HN: Interactive map of the Odyssey with tap-to-gloss Homeric Greek

https://georgemasto.com/odyssey/
2•bohnohboh•19m ago
Built an interactive atlas of Odysseus's voyage. See where the stops fall in today's world, with etymological and knowledge nuggets. 17 stops from Troy to Ithaca. Every stop has Homer's actual Greek (Perseus TEI), Murray's 1919 translation, and every single Greek word is tappable for a translation.

Press N and the ancient chart swaps to today's satellite view: these are real places (e.g. Scylla refers to a town called Scilla in Calabria).

Stack: SvelteKit static + MapLibre, no backend, all public-domain texts and art with a full colophon. Please leave corrections and feedback!
