Description
This Bloomsbury Academic study explores how Homer's Odyssey reveals the workings of human deliberation through Odysseus's journey. The narrative demonstrates practical intelligence as the hero anticipates consequences and controls his actions to achieve his central purpose: returning home as husband, father and king. Once his hope is renewed on Calypso's isle, Odysseus exhibits unwavering commitment to this goal, subordinating other impulses to maintain focus. His legendary cleverness emerges through a gradually developing plan that traces backward from the final objective through an interconnected network of means. By examining dramatic representations and inner thought processes, this analysis illustrates how the ancient epic captures the complexity of human decision-making and strategic reasoning, offering insight into classical approaches to wisdom and agency in Western literature.
