Synopsis
Excerpt from Homer's Odyssey: A Commentary
Note that 11!n out the Odyssey. Not Achilles is the final Greek hero; he perished without capturing the city, and in his hands alone the Greek cause would have been lost. The intellectual hero had to come forward ere the hostile town could be taken and Helen restored. Herein the Odyssey does not contradict the Iliad, but is clearly an advance beyond it.
