Detailed explanation-1: -The poem interacts with its audience through genre, and this interactive nature is what makes The Odyssey so influential. The Odyssey is an epic poem, which is a prominent story of a hero’s journey and interaction with the gods, told in a formal poetic structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps Odysseus’ most famous contribution to the Greek war effort is devising the strategy of the Trojan Horse, which allows the Greek army to sneak into Troy under cover of darkness. It is built by Epeius and filled with Greek warriors, led by Odysseus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Odyssey is an epic poem in 24 books traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer. The poem is the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who wanders for 10 years (although the action of the poem covers only the final six weeks) trying to get home after the Trojan War.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Odyssey is an epic of such depth, detail and complexity that every reader can find something new in its poetry and every writer can take inspiration from its story. In another 2700 years, that will still be true.
