The narrative emphasizes this journey as a test of endurance, wisdom, and loyalty. The figure at the center faces mythical creatures, divine interventions, and relentless hardship as he strives to return to his homeland. The book uses accessible language and vivid episodes to familiarize readers with values such as courage and perseverance while drawing from classical mythology. This adaptation seeks not only to entertain but also to instill an appreciation for ancient tales that have shaped storytelling traditions across time.
Autorenporträt
Homer, believed to have lived during the 8th century BCE, is traditionally regarded as the creator of two of the most significant works in ancient Greek literature, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Though many aspects of his life remain uncertain, Homer s name has become synonymous with the epic storytelling tradition of Greece. His birth is commonly attributed to Ionia, a coastal region in Asia Minor, and it is believed that he may have traveled extensively as a bard, reciting poetry that preserved collective memory through oral tradition. His parents are named in some ancient accounts as Meonas and Krithiida. Homer s works reflect deep knowledge of Greek customs, warfare, and mythology, and they have had a lasting impact on the development of Western literature. While modern scholars debate whether he was a single historical figure or a representation of a group of poets, his influence remains profound. The language used in his epics, known as Homeric Greek, blends different dialects and styles, pointing to a rich and complex oral culture. His death is said to have occurred on the island of Ios. Homer s legacy lies not just in the texts themselves but in the enduring narrative forms and cultural values they inspired.
