  Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odusseia) is one of the two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to the poet Homer.
The Odyssey begins in medias res, meaning that the action begins in the middle of the plot, and that prior events are described through flashbacks or storytelling.
A modern novel inspired by the Odyssey is James Joyce's Ulysses (1922).

 Odyssey
The Odyssey (Greek: Οδύσσεια, Odússeia) is the second of the two great Greek epic poems ascribed to Homer, the first of which is the Iliad.
While today's Odyssey is usually a printed text, the original poem was an oral composition sung by a trained bard, in an amalgamated Ancient Greek dialect, using a regular metrical pattern called dactylic hexameter.
More generally the orthodox theory assumes that the ancient Greeks knew about Italy, but there are very few references at all in the Odyssey to any part of the world to the west of Greece, though lands in the east and south such as Egypt and Sudan are mentioned in several places.

 Iliad - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The epics are considered by most modern scholars to be the oldest literature in the Greek language, though some believe that the works of the poet Hesiod were composed earlier, a belief that was also held by some classical Greeks.
For most of the twentieth century, the Iliad and the Odyssey were dated to the 8th century BC, but many scholars (including Martin West and Richard Seaford) now prefer a date in the 7th or even the 6th century BC.
The Iliad and the Odyssey were considered by Greeks of the classical age and after as the most important works in Ancient Greek literature, and were the basis of Greek pedagogy in antiquity.

While many find it unlikely that the Odyssey was written by one person, others find that the epic is generally in the same writing style, and is too consistent to support the theory of multiple authors.
It may even be admitted that the swift-flowing movement, and the simplicity of thought and style, which are greatly admired in the Iliad, are an inheritance from the earlier lays, such as the reference to Achilles and Patroclus singing to the lyre in their tent; even the hexameter verse may be assigned to them.
The commentaries on the Iliad and the Odyssey written in the Hellenistic period began exploring the textual inconsistencies of the poems.

The island of Calypso, referred to in the Odyssey as Ogygia, is associated with Gozo, which is part of the Maltese archipelago.
In this theory the Odyssey served as a maritime chart for the Atlantic, and Odysseus travelled, among other destinations, to all major archipelagoes: the Cabo Verde islands, the Antilles, the Azores, the Canary isles and finally to Cadiz which supposedly is the location of Ithaca.
Another part of the Ocean which is claimed to have been described by Homer is the route along the southern shores of England to Cornwall (the "tin-route") as tin, by 1200 BC found almost exclusively in Cornwall, was of major importance in the Bronze Age.

 Homer
Homer (Greek Όμηρος, Homeros) is the legendary (or perhaps mythical) early Greek poet traditionally credited with authorship of the major Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey, the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia ("The Frog-Mouse War"), the corpus of Homeric Hymns, and various other lost or fragmentary works such as Margites.
The two epics appear to date back to at least the 8th century BC, and were first written down at the command of the Athenian ruler Pisistratus, who feared they were being forgotten.
The commentaries on the Iliad and the Odyssey written in the Hellenistic period (3rd to 1st century BC) began exploring the textual inconsistencies of the poems.

The Iliad (Ancient Greek Ἰλιάς, Ilias) is, together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a supposedly blind Ionian poet.
Scholars dispute whether Homer existed and whether he was a single person; that is to say, whether the Iliad and the Odyssey were written by one man, or were created by numerous bards over the course of many years, with no single unifying author.
For most of the twentieth century, the Iliad and the Odyssey were dated to the 8th century BCE, but many scholars (including Martin West and Richard Seaford) now prefer a date in the 7th or even the 6th century BCE.

 Homer - Wikipedia Light!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
While many find it unlikely that the Odyssey was written by one man or woman, others find that the epic is generally in the same writing style, and is too brilliantly set up to have been written by more than one person.
It may even be admitted that the swift-flowing movement, and the simplicity of thought and style, which we admire in the Iliad are an inheritance from the earlier lays, such as Achilles and Patroclus sang to the lyre in their tent.
However, it is crucial not to underestimate the creative and transforming power of subsequent tradition: for instance, Achilles, the most important character of the Iliad, associated with Thessaly, has probably been added to a story where the attackers of Troy were from the Peloponnese.
