THE LEGEND OF ULYSSES AND THE FOUNDING OF LISBON

The Legend of Ulysses and the Founding of Lisbon retells one of Portugal's oldest and most enduring legends. After the fall of Troy, the Greek hero Ulysses (Odysseus) begins his long and perilous journey home to Ithaca. According to ancient tradition, his voyage brings him to the shores of the Tagus River, where he discovers an ideal place to establish a settlement. Legend says he names it Olisipo, the city that would eventually become Lisbon.Blending Greek mythology, classical tradition, and Portuguese cultural heritage, this illustrated story follows Ulysses from the tragedy of Troy to the legendary founding of one of Europe's oldest capitals. While modern historians regard the tale as a legend rather than established history, it has inspired generations and remains an important part of Lisbon's identity, celebrating the enduring power of myth, exploration, and the birth of a great city.
