Follow Odysseus’ journey from the fall of Troy to his triumphant return to Ithaca, encountering the countless trials and tribulations along the way. Discover the land of the Lotus Eaters, the island of the Cyclopes, Circe’s enchanting domain, and the perilous strait between Scylla and Charybdis.

The base of this map was entirely hand-drawn before I traced the lines with fineliner pens and recreated the characters in vector format. I incorporated Hellenic decorative elements throughout the design and reused some of my existing vector sets for the trees, mountains, and seas to maintain stylistic consistency.

This was also one of the first maps where I used extensive text to describe Odysseus’ many stops along his journey. Here I began to blend an infographic approach with traditional cartography, which proved to be quite a challenge, especially when summarizing complex episodes into concise text bubbles that still fit harmoniously into the visual composition.
