The Odyssey: A Critical Analysis - Zimo Podcast
Summary
This text comprises excerpts from Samuel Butler's 1900 edition of his translation of Homer's Odyssey, including his preface discussing the poem's authorship and his annotations comparing it to the Iliad. Butler argues that the Odyssey was written by a single author, likely a woman, before 1000 BC, and that its numerous similarities to the Iliad stem from the author's familiarity with, and borrowing from, the earlier epic. The excerpts themselves showcase various episodes from the Odyssey, ranging from Odysseus's initial journey home after the Trojan War to his eventual reunion with Penelope and his revenge on the suitors. The selected passages cover the major plot points, highlighting both the epic's adventurous nature and its focus on character development and interpersonal relationships. Finally, Butler's footnotes provide textual comparisons and insights into the poem's composition.
