Introduction to the Mythology of the Odyssey

If you are a person interested in a deep dive into the fascinating world of ancient Greek mythology, into all the diversity of versions about its origins, symbolism, meaning, and content, then this book is for you, regardless of whether you agree with the author's viewpoint and arguments. The research that emerged at the end of the 19th century, based on numerous ancient sources and drawing on many parallels from the mythology of other peoples, immediately sparked controversy, and then became somewhat forgotten, as myths were primarily seen as reflections of social processes.
