Everyone knows something about Odysseus: how he defeated the Trojans in a surprise attack with a massive wooden horse, wandered the Mediterranean seas for years trying to get home and confronted the Cyclops. Odysseus turns up everywhere from Homer's original epics, Tennyson's poem Ulysses' and Joyce's literary masterpiece of the same name, to the recent Coen brothers film O Brother Where Art Thou, which was based on his adventures. But no one has until now chronicled Odysseus' life from start to finish. In this entertaining 'biography', Beye does just that.' Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

his insights are interesting and funny and sometimes even lewd. he pulls no punches: Odysseus is portrayed as an egotistical, womanizing, unhandsome, wanderer and man of his age who succeeds because he is Heroic not because he is heroic in our modern sense but because he has the favor of Athena and the wits to know it and use it.
