I see the connection, but Odysseus knew and was prepared for his arrival at (whatever the name of his home island is -- i forget) for some time, so the whole idea of "Could it be that I have found my home at last" doesn't fit. However, if "found" really means reached, than it makes sense, as Odysseus at one point was minutes away from his island before being blown off course again.
I watched the classic albums making of Aja. Fagen called it a blues about Odyessus but I think it's just an allegory and a simplified explanation of the overall meaning of the song.
