Focusing on the unique oral traditions of the Odyssey, this exposition explores key themes like 'guest-friendship' and 'testing' in its first part, while the second part delves into the main characters. The author concludes with an intriguing argument about the poem's performance, suggesting it likely took place over three days, with two sessions daily, each maintaining individual artistic coherence.
