The Odyssey (İngilizce Kitap)

The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer.; It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences.; As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books.; It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War.; After the war itself, which lasted ten years, his journey lasted for ten additional years, during which time he encountered many perils and all his crew mates were killed.; In his absence, Odysseus was assumed dead, and his wife and son Telemachus had to contend with a group of unruly suitors who were competing for hand in marriage.; The Odyssey was originally composed in Homeric Greek in around the 8th or 7th century BCE and, by the mid-6th century BCE, had become part of the Greek literary canon.; In antiquity, Homer's authorship of the poem was not questioned, but contemporary scholarship predominantly assumes that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed independently, and the stories themselves formed as part of a long oral tradition.; Given widespread illiteracy, the poem was performed by an aoidos or rhapsode, and more likely to be heard than read.; Ürün Adı: The Odyssey (İngilizce Kitap) Ürün Kodu: 9786258426175 Yazar: Homer Basım Yılı: 2023 Kapak Türü: Karton Kapak Sayfa Sayısı: 413 Kağıt Cinsi: 2.
