S. Kirk and Martin P. Nilsson, respectively, discuss poetic conventions and the socioreligious order Homer depicts.Criticism provides sixteen wideranging interpretations of The Odyssey. Included are seminal essays by Jean Racine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ezra Pound, Cedric H. Whitman, and A. C. Goodson.Albert Cook, Elizabeth Storz, Norman Austin, and John Peradotto provide new perspectives on the poem.An updated Selected Bibliography is also included.
