Homer's Odyssey
Bernhard Zimmermann
Western literature owes Homer and his epics Iliad and Odyssey a lot. Especially the Odyssey and its hero Odysseus shaped not only Greek culture, but also literature, art and music to the present day. With Bernhard Zimmermann, an internationally renowned connoisseur of Greek literary history presents an entertaining introduction to this work. In it, he explores the questions of its origin in the 7th century B.C., the tradition of epics, the literary peculiarities, the persons involved, the scenes and conflicts, and the history of its reception.
