Summary:
The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other Homeric epic. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon; it is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature, while the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage. - Summary by Mark Nelson

🤣. And now I will be laughing for the rest of my life.
😂🤣🤣
I'm adding this to my library.
just what i needed
Imagine using the Roman names for Greek gods in a Greek story.
Frrrr 😭
i'm wondering if they did that to make it easier for us to distinguish the main pantheon of Olympian gods all from the people and demi gods? cuz this way, even if i don't know who they are, at least i know what they are. it bugged me a little at first cuz it took me a second to figure out who tf they were talking about, but honestly it's kinda helpful. cuz the greeks had some serious lore, man.
Honestly
Imagine not acknowledging the word Latin in the title.
Sacrilege

Why the actual f*** are all the audiobooks using the Roman names? His name is Odysseus. Not Ulysses.
So true! The Greek names should be the only ones used.
Does this one use the Romans too?
@@michaelsmoak6267 yes. Ulysses is the Roman name for the hero Odysseus. And Samuel Butler wrote using the Greek names. I have his book on my shelf here. So it doesn’t make sense that this audiobook which claims to be Samuel Butler’s translation would use the Roman names (unless he did two different translations-one with Greek names and one with Roman names???)
i don't know if this is why, but there was a time when the romans were considered "western culture" (aka white) and the greeks were not, and the greek pantheon was basically always referred to using the roman names
(eg. the naming of the planets). it could also just be a way to distinguish certain types of characters from others. cuz a lot of the names do sound greek, like Telemachus for example.
Because we got English from Latin via French. By the time Butler made his translation everyone already knew the Latin names because of that. We get so arrogant with our use of the internet. Until 50 years ago most people couldn't just find new information easily and no one could find everything about everything.
I'm trading/studying this to see how iI can connect it with James Joyce's Ulysses. Wish me luck. Has anyone else out there been successful doing so?
.. reading/studying ...
@@rachlinger2574 well, it can be a tini bit abstract but there are associations. What I did discoverer is that I prefer/enjoyed/learned more from The Odyssey. The more I invest in Joyce's Ulysses, the more immature the content becomes. Are you interested in doing a link/comparison? I can give you a good source. And if you care to, we can talk about it, also. You can start online with Benjamin McEvoy, Hardcore Literature Reading Club for his talk on how to read "U." All his presentations are excellent. He's a young, open minded literature genius. Regards from Chicago
those suitors sure do love being fuddled by drink. no one tell them about livers.
wait, is cirrhosis a greek word? maybe they already know...
