Features: The author Bernard T. examines the Odyssey within the broader context of ancient Greek culture, interpreting Homer's epic through the lens of classical studies. In this relatively concise book, he addresses numerous themes, such as the role of wisdom in thought, the characteristics and significance of the underworld, the relationship between life and death, the changes in the divine-human relationship, and the kind of new divine-human relationship Athena, renowned for wisdom, seeks to establish, among others.
