Homeros – Odysseia – Can Yayınları Edition (2010)
Description:
This is the 2010 Turkish edition of Odysseia, published by Can Yayınları. The epic poem is attributed to Homer (Homeros), the legendary poet of ancient Greece whose works stand among the foundational texts of Western literature. Together with Iliad, Odysseia has influenced literature, mythology, philosophy, and storytelling traditions for nearly three millennia.
Odysseia recounts the long and perilous journey of the Greek hero Odysseus as he struggles to return home to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. During his ten-year voyage, Odysseus encounters mythical creatures, powerful gods, enchantresses, monsters, and countless dangers that test his intelligence, courage, and endurance. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus face challenges of their own as they await his return. Combining adventure, mythology, and profound reflections on fate, loyalty, and human perseverance, the poem remains one of the greatest narratives ever written.
Homeros is traditionally regarded as the author of both the Iliad and the Odysseia. Although details of his life remain uncertain, his epics became cornerstones of ancient Greek culture and continue to shape literature, art, and education around the world. His works are among the oldest surviving masterpieces of world literature.
This Can Yayınları edition presents one of humanity's greatest literary achievements, a timeless epic of adventure, heroism, and the enduring desire to find one's way home.
