NPU 7: ODYSSEY by HOMER

The ODYSSEY by greec mythologic author HOMER (800 BC)

The Odyssey relates the journey home of one of the most known greec heros: Ulysses



It is my preferred book in terms of:

-Cultural Heritage (as we, westerners, have our roots in the hellenistic culture);
-"Heroic Hero" (alone against the Gods, he resists and comes back home 10 years after he left Troy, where he had fought and won war for another 10 years):
-"Clever Hero": using the brain and not only the brutal force
-"Vendicative hero": coming home and punishing the traitors...
