Insightful, inspiring exploration of Homer's Odyssey

For those of us who know and love the incomparable Odyssey of Homer (and there are many), Dr. Hexter has created a valuable, detailed analysis, taking into account many of Homer's most fascinating subtleties. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to spend time thinking about Homer's meanings and intentions as well as those of his intellectually and emotionally brilliant heroes, Penelope and Odysseus.
