Reminds me of this
I am going to downboat you because I'm a Subaru fan not because you are incorrect in your choice of vehicle.
(I actually upboated you)
When I first saw Subaru impresa back in 1998 I was a child, but I could see how special the car was. In fact, during late 90s and 2000s we had some very special cars coming out of rally.
Most movies would end faster if the main character was driving a Lancer.
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Driving Mrs. Daisy
- The Brave Little Toaster
- Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
- Homeward Bound
- Speed…
The exorcist would be a VERY different movie though...
The new testament
"Sam, you're breaking the car!"

The Odyssey happened a long time ago. Before Google Maps. Those were the MapQuest days so things weren't so accurate and they probably got lost
Only the best navigators could hold the map quest printout up at dashboard height with one hand and simultaneously watch the road signs, the road, and the turn by turn instructions simultaneously. Many failed and simply drove off the face of the earth.
Oh God that anxiety when the printed directions tell you to turn right in 3.5 miles, and you feel like you've gone about 5 but you're not sure, and maybe that slight split in the road counted as a right turn, and now you should be moving on to the next step but you're not quite sure.....

and even then it was early MapQuest days and I'm sure Odysseus "knew a shortcut".
Also taking a boat overland takes forever, they don't sail well on land

This guy was so bad at sailing, it's astounding.
I mean, he was a victim of the wrath of Poseidon, not that much you can do about that when at sea.
Which sort of paints Poseidon as incompetent. You'd imagine that the God of the sea would be able to reliably kill people at sea.
Sounds intentional to have Odysseus suffer and long for home, instead of killing him off quickly. The gods want to be entertained as well.

True, that's a fair point.

Looks like the good old "Didn't took a right at the crossroads and continued forward instead and then kept on insisting 'I know the way'" driving problem.

Were they stupid?
No, they were just drawing it out for the Odysseus Cinematic Universe.
Turn off highways and watch what happens.
Pretty sure you can still take Rt 13 and Rt 20 most of the way. Going through each town and hitting lights will add some time, sure, but we're talking an hour, maybe 90 minutes. Odysseus has no excuse.

Almost like he shouldn't have pissed off Poseidon.....
Honda Odyssey is a good choice for that type of trip, but I'm more partial to a Crystler Pacifica, my self.

It was back in the days before cars
Yeah, but once you factor in traffic ...
It's a "fast food" version of the Odyssey compared to the original Michelin-starred meal.
That was the whole point, wasn’t it?
Just off the upper left of the map there’s Greece, NY. It’s a Rochester suburb. Just throwing that out there.

Don't eat the lotuses in Schenectady.
Everyone's talking about driving... but you actually can take a boat from Troy to Ithaca. Just take the Erie Canal west until you reach Montezuma, at the confluence proceed to the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, and continue south through Cayuga Lake, and at the end you'll reach Ithaca.
Easy enough and only takes a couple days at the most. I have no idea why they needed to make some movie about this.
Ohio's is 35 mins
