%X Odiseo lleg¨® a Itaca en el texto de Homero y tambi¨¦n en la Odisea moderna. En realidad, ya hab¨ªa llegado ya cuando se inicia el nuevo poema. Itaca conserva la simbolog¨ªa que tuvo en el texto hom¨¦rico, pero adquiere un nuevo rol. En la isla, Odiseo reafirma su identidad: es el mismo h¨¦roe que particip¨® en la guerra de Troya y despu¨¦s luch¨® contra adversidades y tentaciones durante diez a os, sin perder la voluntad de retornar a la tierra y al hogar. Reconoce su territorio, sepulta a su padre, casa a su hijo. Pero, adem¨¢s, ahora es el punto de partida. Desde ella sale Odiseo en el nuevo viaje, acaso m¨¢s largo que el antiguo y sin regreso. La isla amada sigue siendo la isla amada. Am¨¢ndola, la deja el antiguo h¨¦roe. Y en su largu¨ªsima traves¨ªa hacia la muerte en los hielos antarticos, la recuerda no pocas veces. Odysseus reaches Ithaca in the Homeric text and also in the modern Odyssey. He had really reached there when the new poem begins. Ithaca preserves the symbology which had in the Homeric text, but it acquires a new role. In the island, Odysseus reaffirms his identity: he is the same hero who participated in theTrojan war, fought against adversities and temptation for ten years, without losing the will to return to his land and home. He recognizes his territory, buries his father and accompanies his son in the latter s wedding. Now it is also the point of departure: Odysseus sails from it in a new voyage, perhaps longer than the previous one and with no return. The beloved island remains as such. Loving it, the hero abandons it. In his very long voyage to death on he Antarctic ices he often remembers it.
