“Odysseus’ Quest” new mural commissioned by the municipality of Igoumenitsa.
This work is inspired by the natural inviroment of the lake with the water lilies in the Kalodiki Thesprotia area and the legendary Odysseus.
According to the Myth of Tilegony Odysseus after coming back to Ithaka and killing the suitors of Penelope ,had to leave his home again after the relatives of the suitors were seeking vengeance.
Odysseus went to Adis to consult the oracle and he was told that his quest will end when he reaches a place that people will not recognise the paddle he will carry with him.That place was today’s Thesprotia area.
