The Odyssey time was all about traveling the sea on ships. Now day 's we have cars and roads to drive on to get where we want to go. We also have planes if you need to travel really far distances.

When someone were to leave for a while they would have to send messages over paper instead of phones that we have now days.

When Odysseus came back to his country, he and Telemachus went to visit Odysseus father to see how he was doing because he missed him.
