Shedding light on Odysseus’ companions
Published 2023-06-01“…Although they were written by poets engaged in different ideologies these poems have a key element in common: the focus on Odysseus’ companions instead of Odysseus himself, a choice which reveals both their aesthetic and ideological choices. …”

The audience expects: Penelope and Odysseus
Published 2011“…This paper proposes to analyse the recognition sequence(s) between Odysseus and Penelope in Odyssey 23 from this perspective, arguing that the episode can only fully be understood by recapturing the narrative’s performative strategies: that is, those strategies designed to engage the attention of an audience specifically at the moment of performance.…”

Performance and rivalry: Homer, Odysseus and Hesiod
Published 2008“…Among the several episodes at the end of the Odyssey to arouse the suspicious notice of scholarship,1 the ‘recapitulation’ (23.310–43) has attracted its fair share of criticism. Odysseus’ <em>précis</em> of his adventures to Penelope has been deemed (inter alia) unnecessary, cursory, selective, and even unique in summarizing his wanderings in <em>oratio obliqua</em>, for everywhere else those narratives are put into the mouth of the poem’s main character.2 Of these objections, the last is at least interesting, because it focuses on the poet’s decision to narrate Odysseus’ <em>précis</em> not in direct speech, but in his own, third-person voice. …”

A Tale of Two O's: Odysseus and Oedipus in the Black Atlantic
Published 2009-12-01“…The two books examined here make short work of these classical imperial fictions; O’Meally demonstrates how Romare Bearden’s collages of the Odyssey collaborate with Homer, jazz style, to produce an epic that Black America can recognize as its own. If the voyage of Odysseus is sometimes taken to symbolize the migration of ancient Greek civilization toward the West, Barbara Goff and Michael Simpson interject the troubled figure of Oedipus, who plays Poseidon to the settler’s Odyssey, disrupting the voyage and confusing the trajectory (p. 268). Both studies are timely and speak to a wave of recent research on Black Classicism – an examination of the work to which the classical tradition has been put in Africa and the African diaspora, ranging from the hegemonic appropriation of Classics by colonizers and slave-owners to the use of Classics as an ironic counterdiscourse that writes back to racism and imperialism, or as a source of mythopoiesis in the formation of modern black identity.…”
