Overview
He aquí uno de los más grandes poemas épicos de todos los tiempos: Odisea. En él se narra el regreso del héroe, Odiseo, a su patria, Ítaca, después de la conquista de Troya.
Compuesta como la Ilíada en hexámetros, recoge numerosos cuentos populares y leyendas que, adaptadas, se integran en la epopeya. De este modo, mientras que en la Ilíada el tema central, la cólera de Aquiles, va avanzando inexorablemente, verso a verso, desde su planteamiento hasta su desenlace, en Odisea el regreso del héroe es narrado, con arte magistral, sin recelar de las vueltas atrás o de las digresiones, porque el objetivo supremo es lograr mayor gozo en la narración de bellas historias. Todo ello se logra, además, sin que merme en absoluto la cohesión que mantiene unidos sus episodios.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Here is one of the greatest epic poems of all time: Odyssey. It narrates the return of the hero, Odysseus, to his homeland, Ithaca, after the conquest of Troy.
Composed like the Iliad in hexameters, it collects numerous folk tales and legends that, adapted, are integrated into the epic. In this way, while in the Iliad the central theme, the anger of Achilles, advances inexorably, verse by verse, from its approach to its denouement, in Odyssey the return of the hero is narrated, with masterful art, without fearing turns or digressions, because the supreme objective is to achieve greater joy in the narration of beautiful stories. All this is achieved, moreover, without in any way diminishing the cohesion that holds its episodes together.
