Come Take a Tour of Corsica!


Moly(Snowdrop)

When the brave Odysseus was traveling to Circe's palace to rescue his men, he was approached by Hermes. Hermes told him to eat a special plant that would protect him from Circe's Witchcraft. This plant was called moly, as displayed above! It grows all along the lands of the Mediterranean. Many natives in the land of Corsica keep a Moly petal in their tea or coffee, believing that the Snowdrop would guard them from wicked magic.


Odysseus' Bow


The prized bow of Odysseus, only able to be strung by he himself. Yes, you need more than Katniss to wield this bow. Many thousands of years ago, this weapon eliminated 100 suitors from Odysseus' home in less than an hour. So today, the nuclear warhead may be our weapon of mass destruction, but back then, this was theirs. The bow is 5 feet long and had more than a hundred pounds of draw weight.
