Publisher's Synopsis
""Wild Women of the Odyssey"" by Julien Hyer is a literary analysis of the female characters in Homer's epic poem, ""The Odyssey."" The book explores the roles of women in ancient Greek society and the ways in which they are depicted in the poem. Hyer examines the stories of characters such as Circe, Calypso, and Penelope, and argues that they represent a challenge to the traditional gender roles of the time. He also delves into the symbolism and allegory present in the poem, and how it relates to the portrayal of women. Through this analysis, Hyer provides a fresh perspective on one of the most well-known works of literature in the Western canon. ""Wild Women of the Odyssey"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in Greek mythology, literature, or gender studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
