One of the special charms of the Odyssey, according to Charles
Segal, is the way it transports readers to fascinating places. Yet
despite the appeal of its narrative, the Odyssey is fully
understood only when its style, design, and mythical patterns are
taken into account as well. Bringing a new richness to
interpretation of this epic, Segal looks closely at key forms of
social and personal organization which Odysseus encounters in his
voyages. Segal also considers such topics as the relationship
between bard and audience, the implications of the Odyssey's
self-consciousness about its own poetics, and Homer's treatment of
the nature of poetry.
