People keep calling the Odyssey and ancient Greece “Western heritage” as if they emerged from a western European or even European world. But the modern “West vs East” divide did not even exist yet. Ancient Greeks did not see themselves as “westerners.” They were one civilization among many in the interconnected eastern Mediterranean world alongside Egyptians, Phoenicians, Anatolians, Cypriots, Levantines and Mesopotamians. And the evidence for this is everywhere.
