520 $aMost studies of the Odyssey's narrative structure have focused on limited patterns in individual books of the epic or in sequences within books. In this work, Bruce Louden uncovers an extended narrative pattern that runs throughout the whole Odyssey.
520 8 $aLooking at such elements as characters' names, challenges faced by Odysseus, the structure of the proem (the poem's first ten lines), and roles assigned to the poem's female characters, he identifies a large sequence of successive motifs, repeated in full three times in the Odyssey, which provides the underlying skeletal structure for nearly all the poem's plot.
520 8 $aBased upon his close reading of the epic's structure, Louden offers new interpretations of the poem, exploring the role of divine hostility in the narrative and locating the Odyssey within a mythic subgenre in which a deity's anger at the impiety of humanity results in the survival of a single just man out of an entire community.
520 8 $aThis bold rereading of the Homeric epicthe first attempt in years to map in detail the poem's overall structure - considerably enriches our understanding of the Odyssey's design and meaning.
