Star Trek Voyager story is, in fact, an old one. You could claim that Moses' search for the Promised Land is the earliest known example, though in fact the wandering immortal Gilgamesh predates the Jewish prophet by a couple of thousand years. But the real prototype for modern versions is, of course, Homer's story of Odysseos (aka Ulysses), King of Ithaca, who, having successfully prosecuted the war against Troy, is punished by the gods for his hubris by being forced to track back and forth through the Mediterranean Sea for two decades before he ultimately (and without his crew) reaches his home in Ithaca. The story has been a popular one among science-fiction authors over the decades; in fact, Fletcher Pratt wrote a version which was almost a word-for-word updating of the original story, at least to the point at which the military-commander hero realized what was happening and refused to play the story out any further.
