This volume will help instructors introduce students to topics such as oral epic traditions, the relationship of the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e, and kinship structures. It grapples directly with issues that concern instructors and students today, from the epic's value system and cultural norms to its portrayals of violence, slavery, and misogyny. Essays employ feminism, postcolonialism, and popular culture such as television, games, and comics and address a wide range of classrooms, from world literature courses to high schools and a prison. Readers will also learn about teaching responses to the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e by writers from Dante to contemporary American poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of Dante's \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e, Homer's \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e, Linda Pastan's \"On Re-reading the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e in Middle Age,\" and Theocritus's \"The Cyclops.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.07 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338619027545,"sku":"9781603297097","price":160.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6465\/9545\/files\/eIePug1BwV9781603297097.webp?v=1779426815","url":"https:\/\/warrenssanctuaryofthemind.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-homers-odyssey-hardcover","provider":"Warren's sanctuary of the mind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
