Home at Last; Conclusion: From Raft to Bed; Notes; Bibliography; IndexThe Raft of Odysseus looks at the fascinating intersection of traditional myth with an enthnographically-viewed Homeric world. Carol Dougherty argues that the resourcefulness of Odysseus as an adventurer on perilous seas served as an example to Homer's society which also had to adjust in inventive ways to turbulent conditions. The fantastic adventures of Odysseus act as a prism for the experiences of Homer's own listeners--traders, seafarers, storytellers, soldiers--and give us a glimpse into their own world of hopes and fears, 500 years after the Iliadic events were supposed to have happened.Epic poetry, GreekHistory and criticismOdysseus (Greek mythology) in literatureTrojan WarLiterature and the warGeography, Ancient, in literatureEthnic groups in literatureOcean travel in literatureEthnology in literatureCommerce in literatureElectronic books.Epic poetry, GreekHistory and criticism.Odysseus (Greek mythology) in literature.Trojan WarLiterature and the war.Geography, Ancient, in literature.Ethnic groups in literature.Ocean travel in literature.Ethnology in literature.Commerce in literature.883.01883/.01Dougherty Carol156767MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458653903321The raft of Odysseus2240311UNINA
