Nostos – in Greek νόστος – return, is the word that conveys that sense of circularity of the journey of existence whose ultimate goal is to reach oneself.

Nostos is among the most ancient and widespread literary motifs, and its archetype is the long journey of Ulysses, which significantly is a return. Its goal is not to lead the hero to a destination but to circularly lead him back – now more experienced and wiser – to the original starting point: home. A physical home, Ithaca. An inner home, self-knowledge.
