Space Oddities: Die homerische Irrfahrt in Bildkünsten und Populärkultur 1800–2021 (Europa – USA – Südamerika)
The uncertain journey of the ἀνήρ (man), who initially remains nameless in the Odyssey, who fails and succeeds as Οὔτις (nobody), is experiencing a new boom as a timeless construct that can be adapted to different areas of today’s globalized world, characterized by mobility and migration movement.
This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the Odyssey’s reception in a wide variety of genres from different cultural contexts from Europe to North and South America and aims to encourage further interdisciplinary and transmedia research.
