    Epic- The odyssey

    The Odyssey is an epic, a very long poem on a


    single subject. Some epics were composed in
    order to be performed from memory, and so
    they include poetic devices to make them
    more memorable. And many epics, probably
    including The Odyssey, were written to be
    performed to musical accompaniment.The
    journey of Odysseus from Troy to Ithaca takes
    ten years the same amount of time that the
    Trojan War itself lasted. The extraordinary
    length of Odysseus' return trip, which should
    take a matter of weeks, is due to his many
    antagonists, including the god Poseidon, the
    many mythical creatures he encounters, and
    Odysseus' often greedy and lazy
    crewmen.Odysseus's most memorable quality
    is not his bravery or strength though
    he is brave and strong but rather his
    cleverness. In fact, Homer refers to his
    protagonist throughout the epic as "wily
    Odysseus
