Homer, the Ancient Greek epic poet, is considered one of the greatest poets of all time, with whom Greek and European literature begins.
Admiration for Homer's epics has remained unchanged from antiquity to the present day, which is why it is taught in schools throughout Europe as one of the most important poets and educators throughout the ages. The Homeric epics have been translated into all languages of the world.
The Odyssey consists of 12,110 verses and undoubtedly is included in the most widely read literary texts, exerting a timeless influence on literature, poetry, and art.
The ten-year wanderings of the resourceful Odysseus after the Trojan War, the faithful Penelope who waited for him, and his son Telemachus who sought him, have deeply engraved our cultural consciousness. The hero's nostos and resourcefulness, the role of fate, adventure, journey, geographical element, trials, companionship, suitors, and the search for Ithaca are inherent in the timeless work of the Odyssey.
The series, which includes the ancient text, modern Greek translation, and commentary, consists of 6 volumes that encompass the entire epic.
