Description

Explore the workings of the human mind through the lens of Homer's Odyssey. This academic study examines how Odysseus uses practical intelligence to navigate his journey. By analyzing dramatic representations and narrative reports of inner deliberation, the text reveals how the hero anticipates consequences and controls his actions to reach his goals. Once his hope of returning home as a husband, father, and king is renewed on Calypso's isle, Odysseus demonstrates a consistent will. He focuses on his purpose and subordinates other impulses to achieve his return. This book tracks his fabled cleverness as it engages in a developing plan, thinking back from his final goal through a network of means to achieve it. Ideal for students and scholars of mythology and folklore, this work provides a deep look at the mental processes and decision-making of one of literature's most famous figures. Understand how signs and deliberation shape the narrative of the Odyssey.
