The Ulysses theme

by William Bedell Stanford · 1954

+ Want to read

This book offers substance to contemporary reflections on manhood by looking at comradeship, heroism, virtue, wandering, trickery, father-son issues, relations between men and a variety of feminine forms, and the intervention of the Gods. The author surveys the range of responses—from Euripides to Kazantzakis—to Ulysses' ambiguous nature, transforming Homeric studies by focusing on literary and psychological analysis.
