The poem has deeply ingrained in us the sense of life as a journey, introducing a gallery of characters and events taht have prodoundly influenced western literature. Scylla and Charybdis, Circe, the Lotus Eaters, a visit with the dead, and most resonant, Odysseus' determined search for home, are all here in one of the classic translations.
