Clássico absoluto da literatura universal, a "Odisseia" leva-nos à Grécia de 3.000 anos atrás, às grandiosas aventuras do herói Ulisses, depois da Guerra de Troia. Foi escrita provavelmente no fim do século VIII a.C., em algum lugar da Jnia, região da costa da Ásia Menor então controlada pelos gregos, e atualmente parte da Turquia.

Obras fundadoras da literatura ocidental, "Ilíada" e "Odisseia" são muito mais do que poemas épicos que narram a história da guerra de Troia ou do retorno de Ulisses a sua terra natal. Elas são a origem de um enorme repertório mítico que, avançando nos séculos, desempenha até os dias de hoje um importante papel no imaginário e na cultura do ocidente.
