About this ebook
Odysseus is without question one of the most fascinating figures in classical mythology. Indeed, despite being an ancillary character in the Iliad, he was so beloved by ancient audiences that he warranted his own spin-off, the Odyssey. He was endemic throughout Greek thought and art, appearing in statues, theatrical pieces, poems and orations, and he was equally prevalent in later Roman culture. Unlike other notable figures of classical antiquity who were forgotten during the Middle Ages (including a fair few who, unlike Odysseus himself, actually existed outside the realm of legend) Odysseus’s fame endured, and he made regular appearances in Medieval and Renaissance literature, including a memorable turn in Dante’s Inferno. To this day, Odysseus remains a highly popular character, having appeared on both the big and small screen, featuring in a slew of novels, and even making appearances in Japanese anime and video games. Characters inspired by Odysseus and his adventures are a staple of modern fiction, and locations said to match those from the Odyssey are scattered throughout the Mediterranean, particularly in Greece and Italy.
