Descrição da editora
Composed in the 8th century BCE and attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, The Odyssey is a cornerstone of Western literature. This epic poem follows the cunning hero Odysseus, King of Ithaca, on his long and treacherous journey home after the fall of Troy. Battling mythical creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, resisting the lure of the Sirens, and enduring the wrath of the gods, Odysseus faces trials that test his courage, wit, and endurance. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope fends off persistent suitors, and his son Telemachus searches for news of his father. Rich in adventure, moral lessons, and timeless archetypes, The Odyssey has shaped storytelling traditions for over two millennia and continues to inspire readers with its themes of resilience, loyalty, and the quest for home.
