If Odysseus hadn’t angered Poseidon, his journey home to Ithaca would likely have taken only about a week.
The distance between Troy and Ithaca is roughly 560 nautical miles, with one nautical mile equal to about 1.15 miles or 1.85 kilometers. Ancient ships are estimated to have traveled at around 4 to 6 knots, averaging close to 5 knots, which would allow them to cover approximately 100 nautical miles per day. At that pace, a direct voyage without setbacks would take around six days, or roughly a week.
By comparison, a modern flight along a similar route would take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the exact path.

When Alexander the Great took the Persian capital of Susa, he found treasures King Xerxes stole from Athens.
These included the statues of the Athenian tyrant slayers, Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
Alexander sent them back to Athens as a gift.
Here they are depicted in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

I swear the only reason people in Britain are pale is because it's so rainy, or red hair affliction. Remember this guy? My father has a very similar complexion - but is entirely Scottish/Irish.
