Cees H. Goekoop is the former mayor of Leiden and the author of several works on Homer.
“There are many good reasons why this book should reach a wider audience. Mr. Goekoop demonstrates the importance of analyzing the local geography from the large number of clues provided in the Odyssey. His methodology and research are outstanding.”
