Not only has the narrative reflected a myriad of intellectual and aesthetic agendas, but it has seemed perhaps uniquely fertile in generating new kinds of artistic media. Art forms created in direct response to the Odyssey include the tragedies of classical Athens and the burlesque of Aristophanes, as well as more recent genres such as travelogue, science fiction, the novel, opera, film, children's books and detective stories. The author explores fifteen key themes in the Odyssey which illuminate the innumerable ways it has impacted on the cultural imagination.
