The picaresque return of the wandering pirate-king is one of the most popular texts of all time, crossing East-West divides and inspiring poets and fimmakers wordwide. But why, over three thousand years, has the Odyssey's appeal proved so remarkably resilient and longlasting? Edith Hall explains the enduring fascination of Homer's epic in terms of its extraordinary susceptibility to adaptation. Not only has the story reflected a myriad of different agendas, but - from the tragedies of classical Athens to modern detective fiction, film, travelogue and opera - it has seemed perhaps uniquely fertile in generating new artistic forms. Cultural texts as diverse as Joyce's Ulysses, Suzanne Vega's Calypso, Monteverdi's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, the Coen Brothers' O Brother Where Art Thou?, Daniel Vigne's Le Retour de Martin Guerre and Anthony Minghella's Cold Mountain all show that Odysseus is truly a versatile hero. His travels across the wine-dark Aegean are journeys not just into the mind of one of the most brilliantly creative of all the ancient Greek writers. They are as much a voyage beyond the limits of a narrative which can plausibly lay claim to being the quintessential global phenomenon."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aLiterary studies: classical, early & medieval$2BIC 615 7$aLiterary studies: classical, early & medieval. 676 $a883/.01 700 $aHall$b Edith$f1959-$0283486 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459342403321 996 $aThe return of Ulysses$92057106 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02563nam 2200577Ia 450 001 9910777303303321 005 20230424235154.0 010 $a0-19-771251-7 010 $a1-280-52651-3 010 $a0-19-535996-8 010 $a1-4294-0768-9 035 $a(CKB)1000000000412295 035 $a(EBL)271293 035 $a(OCoLC)182530789 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000136743 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11150361 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000136743 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10104181 035 $a(PQKB)11646852 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL271293 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10142193 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL52651 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC271293 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000412295 100 $a19920522d1993 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDemosthenes and his time $ea study in defeat /$fRaphael Sealey 210 1$aNew York :$cOxford University Press,$d1993. 215 $a1 online resource (x, 340 pages) $cmap 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a0-19-507928-0 320 $aIncludes bibliography and index. 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 319-330) and index. 327 $aContents; Introduction: The Subject; 1.
