Ithaka

Ithaka, often spelled Ithaca, is an island in Greece famously known as the home of Odysseus, the hero of Homer’s epic poems. Symbolically, Ithaka represents a destination or goal, embodying the idea of a meaningful journey that requires perseverance and growth. In a broader sense, the term can be used metaphorically to refer to one's personal or professional aspirations, emphasizing the importance of the journey and experiences gained along the way, rather than just the final achievement.
