-Ithacais the kingdom of Ulysses and the eternal symbol of return and nostalgia. In Greek mythology it is the final destination of the hero's ten-year wandering after the Trojan War. The island is associated with the faith of Penelope, the adulthood of Telemachus and the restoration of order in the palace through the menstruation.
