  • The Odyssey – Background Information
    Name: Period: Date: Ms. Lopez The Odyssey – Background Information The world’s most famous epic poems—Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey—were composed between 900 and 700 B.C. The poems describe legendary events that probably can be traced to real historical struggles for control of the waterways leading from the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. These real battles would have taken place as early as 1200 B.C., a time that was at least as long ago for Homer’s audience as the Pilgrims’ landing at Plymouth Rock is for us. What is an Epic? Epics are long narrative poems that tell of the adventures of heroes who embody the values of their particular civilizations. For centuries, the Greeks used the Iliad and the Odyssey in their schools to teach Greek virtues. Therefore, it is not surprising that later cultures, while admiring Homer’s epics, created their own epics that imitated Homer’s style but conveyed their own value systems. Some epics that follow the basic patterns established by Homer’s two stories are Rome’s Aeneid, France’s Song of Roland, Italy’s Divine Comedy by Dante, the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf, the very ancient Sumerian tale of Gilgamesh, and India’s Mahabharata and Ramayana. The Iliad is the primary model for the epic of war. It deals with the events of the Trojan War. The Odyssey is the model for the epic of the long journey. It is literally the journey home from the Trojan War for Odysseus, the king of Ithaca.

  • The Return of Ulysses ‘Only Edith Hall Could Have Written This Richly Engaging and Distinctive Book
    the return of ulysses ‘Only Edith Hall could have written this richly engaging and distinctive book. She covers a breathtaking range of material, from the highest of high culture to the camp, cartoonish, and frankly weird; from Europe to the USA to Africa and the Far East; and from literature to film and opera. Throughout this tour of the huge variety of responses that there have been to the Odyssey, a powerful argument emerges about the appeal and longevity of the text which reveals all the critical and political flair that we have come to expect of this author. It is all conveyed with the infectious excitement and clarity of a brilliant performer. The Return of Ulysses represents a major contribution to how we assess the continuing influence of Homer in modern culture.’ — Simon Goldhill, Professor of Greek Literature and Culture, University of Cambridge ‘Edith Hall has written a book many have long been waiting for, a smart, sophisticated, and hugely entertaining cultural history of Homer’s Odyssey spanning nearly three millennia of its reception and influence within world culture. A marvel of collection, association, and analysis, the book yields new discoveries on every page. In no other treatment of the enduring figure of Odysseus does Dante rub shoulders with Dr Who, Adorno and Bakhtin with John Ford and Clint Eastwood. Hall is superb at digging into the depths of the Odyssean character to find what makes the polytropic Greek so internationally indestructible. A great delight to read, the book is lucid, appealingly written, fast, funny, and full of enlightening details.

  • {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who the Myth Makers by Donald Cotton the MYTH MAKERS
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who The Myth Makers by Donald Cotton THE MYTH MAKERS. The war was a 10 year long siege of the city of Troy, on the north-western coast of modern Turkey, by the invading Greek armies. The war had been caused by the 'abduction' of the Helen, wife of Menelaus, the Spartan king, by Paris, second son of the king of Troy. After 10 years, the Greeks, whose ranks included the heroes Achilles and Odysseus, were desperate for a speedy end to the conflict, and the opportunity would be presented to them in the most unlikely of manners. The story's main triumph is in the characterisations. The Heroes of the ancient world are portrayed in a totally new light - Achilles, the utterly invincible Greek warrior, is a cowardly dandy; Odysseus, the brave traveller of whom epic poems were written, is a maniacal pirate; Paris the ancient equivalent of an upper-class public schoolboy; Menelaus a slobbering drunkard. The characters are also portrayed excellently by the guest cast, which includes such famous (in the Sixties) names as Max Adrian, Barrie Ingham and Frances White, as well as Doctor Who veterans Ivor Salter and Tutte Lemkow. As with all comedy scripts, a large amount of the humour is generated by the actors' delivery of the lines, but the scripts alone should present a fair idea of the nature of the episodes. Unusually, the last part marks a complete change of direction - the invasion of Troy and subsequent massacre is dealt with in a much more sombre tone, and suddenly the dangers of the ancient become horribly real as the laughs are replaced by gritty battles and screams of death.
