What is the theme in Ithaka by Constantine P. Cavafy?

One major theme in the poem, Ithaka, is the epic poem The Odyssey, which serves as as a backdrop for the poem. Ithaka, however, in contrast to The Odyssey, looks at the journey in a completely different way. Whereas, The Odyssey concentrates on the quest or journey..... the destination, Ithaka places its importance on the value of the journey.
