Hello everyone! I’m super excited to share my review of one of Homer’s greatest works- Odyssey. There’s something about Greek mythologies that makes me glued/stuck to them. Once I start reading a Greek myth, I can’t get my mind off it until I’m done reading the work. I started reading Greek myths when I was in Senior Secondary School 3 (SSS 3). I remember how I used to stay up all night reading different narratives on my phone. One could say I was obsessed with the stories. I had to give up on them because they were distracting me from focusing on an external examination. After I graduated from high school, I didn’t lose interest in Greek myths, life happened and I didn’t have the time to read stories. Again, I fell in love with Greek myth when I got into the university. I took a course on European Literature- literature of European countries that covers Greek myth and works by talented European authors.
The two great works attributed to Homer are Iliad and Odyssey. However, some people believe that Homer isn’t the original author of these works. In my opinion, Homer is the original author of Iliad and Odyssey. It is reasonable to give him the authorship because enough evidence points towards him. Homer’s Odyssey takes us on a profound exploration of bravery, heroism, greed and adventure. If you’re not a lover of stories and Greek myth, there’s a high chance that you’d lose focus because of its complex words and structure. Generally, this book is a masterpiece and I recommend that you read it.
