Readers will be introduced to the world in that the Odyssey was produced, to the text itself and to its origins in oral poetry. This volume gives a summary of the poem and examines its structure. The unity, values and techniques of the poem are clearly outlined, as are the reasons for its longstanding appeal. This guide delves into the diverse world of the story; that of monsters, gods, and enchantresses which interacts with the very different world of the home, marriage and the family. Students will be introduced to the essential themes of loyalty and betrayal, and guided through the narrative of Odysseus' adventures, which also illustrate the workings of the world and the justice of heaven. Readers will also find a very helpful guide to further reading. 410 0$aLandmarks of world literature. 676 $a883.01 700 $aGriffin$b Jasper$0170963 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458152703321 996 $aHomer$9960437 997 $aUNINA
