Balaklava Odyssey

Location
Location
Location

Homer`s works Odyssey and Iliad are considered to be the initial works of the European culture. There is a theory suggesting that the action of the Odyssey`s book X takes place in Balaklava. Indeed, there is an astounding similarity between Homer`s description and the topology of the port entrance to Balaklava. Here, Odysseus has to fight against the laistrygons - androphagous monsters that annihilate the majority of the Greek hero`s ships` crews. Moreover, Balaklava is connected to the ancient world through the mountain of Tauris which is one of the main locations in the myth of Taurus. Here is where Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, was banished to. During the festival, the main channel of the tunnel is dedicated to the ancient world; the visitors will sit in boats and, like in the Odyssey, “cruise” through times and mythology, moving between the different stations of art.
