Odysseus Disguised in Odyssey (books 15-24): Work, Ephemerality and Pain
Main Article Content
Abstract
My aim here is to provide an overview of how Odysseus elaborates an êthos for himself between Books 15 and 24 of the Odyssey, when he must act in disguise in front of Eumaeus, the suitors, Penelope and, finally, his own father. Throughout his behavior we can see the way his “persona” evolves and is adjusted to each one of his interlocutors and situations, with special attention given to themes such as work, ephemerality and suffering.
