I continue to dig up the "Odyssey on the Baltic".
So we have Iman Wilkens (Where Troy Once Stood) with his concept of TROY in England.
There is also another guy Felice Vinci, who wrote a book "The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales: The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Migration of Myth." The book has also been translated into Russian, it is impressive.
Vinci claims that the plots of the Iliad and Odyssey were originally formed in the Bronze Age among the peoples living on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Later, due to a sharp deterioration in the climate in Northern Europe (cold weather), these tribes migrated south to the Mediterranean, bringing their legends with them. Already in the new place, they adapted the old tales to the new geographical reality, transferring the action to the Greek islands and coasts familiar to them.
It seems that Vinci's concept is good, I like how he places the homeland of Odysseus/Ulysses in modern Denmark. The outlines of Jutland really resemble Greece. The geographical correspondence of other countries is built well.
So, Odysseus travels through the Baltic and Scandinavia. There are controversial points, for example, Vinci places Troy in a completely different place than Iman Wilkens. S ' s said that Troy was in England, which means Wilkens is right.
At the same time, Wilkens almost did not consider Scandinavia in his reasoning. Although Vinci puts Scandinavia in first place.
So, we have a map based on Vinci's book, on which I also put Troy by Iman Wilkens, as well as Scheria according to the Cassiopaeans.
P.S. Vinci incorrectly interprets Scheria as a territory in southern Norway, as well as the Faroe Islands (as the island of Ogygia). Damn, man, where did you see trees (Pine, Aspen, etc.) on the Faroe Islands? How can you build a raft in a place where there are no trees?
PPS Oh, I also forgot to clarify earlier that Scheria is the country of Skerries. Vinci guessed it, but misinterpreted it. Skerries are not just bare rocks in the sea. Skerries are a bunch of small granite islands covered with forest, moss and bushes, sometimes with freshwater bodies inside the island. This is what skerries look like in reality, for example on Lake Ladoga (photo from the Internet):
This is what
Gogland Island (Ogygia in Odyssey) looks like, the most isolated in the Gulf of Finland, which could have been a prison for Odysseus/Ulysses for 7 years. This version arose because C's said that
Scheria is the area around modern St. Petersburg.
This island is 10 km long, 2 km wide, has a lot of forest and fresh water bodies and granite hills. -
