📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

After a long and arduous journey, where is the true home you must finally return to in your life?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Bringing my year-long, 365-day reading journey to a close, I open once more this great epic of Homer. Odysseus's ten years of wandering are no simple adventure tale. They are a majestic record of the human will, determined to return at all costs to its rightful place amid every temptation, every hardship, and the wrath of the gods. The moment I close the book's final page, I find myself asking: after voyaging through so much knowledge and so many other lives, where is my own Ithaca, the place I must reach? This book is not an ending but a preparation for the true voyage of our lives, about to begin again.

— ONGO · Curator
"Whatever comes, I have a heart that is inured to suffering. I have endured much in waves and war; let this follow too."
Homer, The Odyssey
"어떤 운명이 닥치든, 나는 이미 파도와 전쟁 속에서 많은 고통을 견뎌냈으니, 이 또한 기꺼이 견뎌내리라."
