This is a survey, with all the strengths and limitations which that entails, of the figure of Odysseus from Homer through the first half of the Twentieth Century. Stanford had the required background: he edited one of the standard editions of the Odyssey, is familiar with the intermediate works, and is a sympathetic reader of Joyce's Ulysses and of Kazantzakis.
