Odysseus, son of Laertes
I, Odysseus, son of Laertes the Gardener and Anticlea, the best of mothers. Odysseus, grandson of Autolycus Hermesides, to this day generously showered with praise and blasphemy - and Arcesius the islander, forgotten almost immediately after his death. Great-grandson of lightning and caduceus. Destroyer of fortified Troy; killer of impudent suitors. A man full of wiles of various and wise counsels. Wanderer Odysseus. Hero Odysseus. Cunning Odysseus. There are so many of them, these "I". And everyone wants to come back. Neo-mythological writers, Oldie are in dialogue with distant Hellas. Homer's epic rhythm rocks the 21st century novel. Since Aeschylus, many have tried to understand where the Cosmos ends and Man begins. Is it not because our age is commensurate with deep antiquity in the sense of the fatal immensity of the world? Is happiness and harmony possible only as a personal choice and despite the mighty forces that rule the world?
