La Odisea es un poema épico griego compuesto por 24 cantos, atribuido al poeta griego Homero. Se cree que fue escrito en el siglo VIII a.C., en los asentamientos que Grecia tenía en la costa oeste del Asia Menor (actual Turquía asiática). Según otros autores, la Odisea se completa en el siglo VII a.C. a partir de poemas que sólo describían partes de la obra actual. Fue originalmente escrita en lo que se ha llamado dialecto homérico. Narra la vuelta a casa del héroe griego Odiseo (Ulises en latín) tras la Guerra de Troya. Odiseo tarda diez años en regresar a la isla de Ítaca, donde poseía el título de rey, período durante el cual su hijo Telémaco y su esposa Penélope han de tolerar en su palacio a los pretendientes que buscan desposarla (pues ya creían muerto a Odiseo), al mismo tiempo que consumen los bienes de la familia.La mejor arma de Odiseo es su astucia; gracias a su inteligencia además de la ayuda provista por Palas Atenea es capaz de escapar de los continuos problemas a los que ha de enfrentarse por designio de los dioses. Para esto, planea diversas artimañas.El poema es, junto a la Ilíada, uno de los primeros textos de la épica grecolatina y por tanto de la literatura occidental. Se cree que el poema original fue transmitido por vía oral durante siglos por aedos que recitaban el poema de memoria, alterándolo consciente o inconscientemente. Era transmitida en dialectos de la Antigua Grecia. Ya en el siglo IX a.C., con la reciente aparición del alfabeto, tanto la Odisea como la Ilíada pudieron ser las primeras obras en ser transcritas.La obra consta de 24 cantos. Al igual que muchos poemas épicos antiguos, comienzan en mitad de la historia, contando los hechos anteriores a base de recuerdos o narraciones del propio Odiseo. El poema está dividido en tres partes.

Resumen y sinopsis de La Odisea de HomeroTras una d�cada de guerra, una ofensa al dios Poseid�n ha alejado de su reino al astuto h�roe otros diez a�os, condenado a navegar sin rumbo y a sufrir las m�s diversas vicisitudes. La Odisea, que sucede a la ca�da de Troya, sigue los pasos de Ulises -el nombre latino de Odiseo, que esta traducci�n adopta- y nos acerca al relato de su largo peregrinaje para volver al hogar, �taca. Los mitos que configuran esta gran epopeya, la capacidad de Homero para retratar la vida en el Mediterr�neo a finales del 2000 a.C. y la irrupci�n de un h�roe deseoso de regresar a la patria han dejado huella en los grandes autores de la literatura -de Virgilio a Joyce- y han convertido la Odisea en una pieza clave de la cultura universal.

Martha Feldman's exploration of sixteenth-century Venetian madrigals centers on the importance to the Venetians of Ciceronian rhetorical norms, which emphasized decorum through adherence to distinct stylistic levels. She shows that Venice easily adapted these norms to its long-standing mythologies of equilibrium, justice, peace, and good judgment. Feldman explains how Venetian literary theorists conceived variety as a device for tempering linguistic extremes and thereby maintaining moderation. She further shows how the complexity of sacred polyphony was adapted by Venetian music theorists and composers to achieve similar ends. At the same time, Feldman unsettles the kinds of simplistic alignments between the collectivity of the state and its artistic production that have marked many historical studies of the arts. Her rich social history enables a more intricate dialectics among sociopolitical formations; the roles of individual printers, academists, merchants, and others; and the works of composers and poets. City Culture offers a new model for situating aesthetic products in a specific time and place, one that sees expressive objects not simply against a cultural backdrop but within an integrated complex of cultural forms and discursive practices. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.
