Book Description

Así como la Ilíada presenta a la Grecia heroica en su lucha con los habitantes de Trood, la Odisea describe el tiempo de paz, calma y aventura que siguió al final de la guerra, contando el drama local y una serie de fascinantes y fascinantes aventuras. Juntas, las dos epopeyas constituyen el panorama más completo, el eco más fiel de los primeros tiempos históricos de la raza griega y contienen ejemplos de heroísmo, amor patriótico, fidelidad marital, respeto a los mayores, amabilidad al abrazar a un peregrino, amistad, etc. Se ha dicho con razón que toda la poesía de Homero es un elogio de la virtud, con la excepción del apéndice puro. Y Aristóteles ya había notado lo simple que era el tema de la Odisea: el regreso de Ulises a su tierra natal, después de una larga peregrinación y la lucha con las tormentas por el odio que Neptuno le reclama (esta larga ausencia del héroe motiva el viaje que Telémaco hace a Pylos y Esparta), y la venganza de los que se instalaron en su casa, intentan casarse con Penélope y tratan de matarlo. Pero en la narración, el poeta no sigue un orden cronológico, como en la Ilíada, sino in medias res, non secus ac notes, auditorem rapit, pone en boca del protagonista lo sucedido desde que Ulises y su familia partieron. en Troya hasta que el héroe llega a Calipso, es precisamente la parte más extraordinaria de sus aventuras.

Author portrait of Homer

Homer

A legendary Greek epic poet believed to be the author of the Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey. In general, the ancient Greeks believed that Homer was a historical figure, but modern scholars doubt this, as there are no reliable translations of his biography surviving from the Classical era, and the epics cited about him represent the accumulation of many centuries of oral narrative and elaborate poetic expositions. Martin West believes that Homer is not the name of a historical poet, but rather a pseudonym.” The dates of Homer's life were the subject of controversy in the classical era and this controversy has continued until now. Herodotus said that Homer lived four hundred years before his time, which may mean that he lived in 850 BC. Approximately, while other ancient sources believe that he lived in a period close to the supposed Trojan War, Eratosthenes, who struggled to prove a scientific calendar of the events of the Trojan War, believes that it was between 1184 and 1194 BC.
