Odysseus' hometown (6)
I believe the answer is:
ithaca
'odysseus' hometown' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ithaca that I've seen before include "Odysseus's home" , "old island" , "Greek island sought by Odysseus" , "where long boat trip ended" , "Last location of Homer's Odyssey" .)
