About the book: La Odisea
The Odyssey was first composed in Homeric Greek around the 8th or 7th century BC, developing as part of an oral tradition over hundreds of years. Given widespread illiteracy, the poem was performed for an audience by an aoidos or rhapsode. Textual reconstructions indicate the poems have taken many forms, and the content may have varied from telling to telling.
The epic follows the heroic king of Ithaca, Odysseus, and his homecoming journey after the Trojan War. Key themes include the ideas of homecoming, wandering, guest-friendship, testing, and omens. Scholars discuss the narrative prominence of certain groups within the poem, such as women and slaves, who have larger roles than in other works of ancient literature.
In antiquity, Homer's authorship was taken as true, but contemporary scholarship predominantly assumes that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed independently, as part of long oral traditions. Debate still persists today over many questions concerning Homer and his works.
