Meer dan de Illias, bevat de Odyssee passages die ook gewoon voor het persoonlijke literair genot kunnen worden gelezen en niet puur omwille van het historisch interessante  artefact. Toch overstijgt het laatstgenoemde deze roman globaal bekeken nog steeds. Hebben we echt meer dan honderd pagina's aan Telemachos nodig vooraleer we Odysseus het eerste ontmoeten? Zeker in contrast met de sirenen, die in enkele verzen al overwonnen worden? Moeten we werkelijk Odysseus als een onverschrokken held blijven bekijken? Of schuilt er daar toch ook al wat ironie in, en was die ironie daar opzettelijk of is dat gewoon een postmodernistische bril die niet meer weet wat echt, puur heroïsme inhoudt? 

Ps: Geen kritiek op Homeros, maar deze editie heeft mogelijks, het meest zinloze, ongestructureerde nawoord dat ik ooit in mijn leven las.

An amazing text that really lives up to the mode of an epic! The narratives explored within the overarching story are fascinating, exciting and enjoyable reads and the main plot is perfectly executed. Only brought down a little by some convoluted areas that felt overstayed their welcome at times.
