## What is Walk the Odyssey | Stoic Steps?

Seen the movie? Read the book? Now it's your turn: walk your own way through the greatest stories of antiquity.

Walk the Odyssey pairs your daily walks with Homer's ancient adventure: every kilometer you walk moves Odysseus a little further along his ~4,000 km voyage from Troy to Ithaca. Your steps are tracked automatically via Apple Health, no manual logging needed.

And the journey no longer ends at Ithaca: a whole library of ancient classics awaits, each one a voyage of its own, with its own map, its own milestones and its own artworks.

An illustrated logbook that fills in chapter by chapter as you approach each milestone
A companion of your choice (Odysseus, Achilles, Marcus Aurelius, Socrates or Seneca) walks the route with you
