Think about The Odyssey. What did Ithaca represent to Odysseus? Why did he want to get there so badly?

Odysseus wanted to get home to his family in Ithaca. Why would the author want the journey to be a long one?

Do you think Ithaca could be a metaphor for something else? Think about Odysseus' goals but also other large life goals a hero may have in life.
