Explanation:

Odyssey is one of the two main epic poems of Ancient Greece, attributed to Homer. It is a sequence of the Iliad, another work credited to the author, and is a fundamental poem in the Western canon. Historically, it is the second - the first being the Iliad itself - the work of Western literature.

The Odyssey, like the Iliad, is a poem elaborated over centuries of oral tradition, having its form fixed in writing, probably at the end of the eighth century BC. Homeric language combines different dialects, including with ancient reminiscences of the Greek language, resulting, therefore, in an artificial language, but understood. Composed in dactylic hexameter was sung by the aedo (singer), who also played, accompanying the zither or formminx, as it appears in the Odyssey itself (canto VIII, verses 43-92) and also in the Iliad (canto IX, verses 187-190) .

Because it is a very rich text of knowledge, with a strong artistic sense, and that portrays many scientific and philosophical concepts, this poem can attract the attention of many scholars, like poets, Artists, City Founders and others.
