Abstract

In examining the alterations and innovations which subsequent authors have made in their delineations of Odysseus' character, I hope that this study will illustrate in some small way the debt which English literature owes to Homer, to the nameless minstrels and story-tellers who perpetuated and expanded the tales until they could be recorded and to the post-Homeric authors who rehandled them and kept them alive.
