The video will discuss the historiographical context of Homer's Odyssey, its transition from Bronze to Iron Age, themes of ethnicity and colonization, aristocratic and mercantile values, ritual and psychological events, as well as the Greek worldview and their outlook of the Barbarians and how at times Odysseus can be seen as a hero and an anti-hero.
