Soft cover. Condition: VERY GOOD Minus. 14th Edition By This Publisher. 175 grams ** 287 pages. he Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, telling the story of Odysseus's long, perilous journey home after the Trojan War. It explores themes of homecoming (nostos), hospitality (xenia), loyalty, identity, and the tension between mortal life and temptation. ** The Odyssey follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he struggles for ten years to return home, facing monsters, gods, and temptations, while his wife Penelope and son Telemachus fend off suitors who assume he is dead. ** Begins in medias res: Odysseus has been gone 20 years-10 at Troy, 10 trying to return. He is trapped on Calypso's island. Telemachus' quest: Guided by Athena, he searches for news of his father and grows into adulthood. ** Odysseus's wanderings (Books 9-12): Lotus-Eaters; Cyclops Polyphemus (whom he blinds, angering Poseidon); Aeolus's winds; Laestrygonians; Circe; Underworld; Sirens; Scylla & Charybdis; Cattle of the Sun These episodes test his cunning, endurance, and leadership. ** Return to Ithaca: Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar. Penelope proposes a bow-stringing contest. Only Odysseus succeeds. ** Revenge & restoration: He kills the suitors with Telemachus's help and reunites with Penelope. ** 24 books, originally part of an oral tradition. ** Major Themes: Nostos (homecoming): The emotional and moral pull of returning home. Xenia (hospitality): A moral code-good hosts and guests are rewarded; violators are punished. Identity & disguise: Odysseus's cunning often relies on concealment. Temptation vs. duty: Calypso's immortality, the Lotus-Eaters' oblivion, and other distractions threaten his return.
