Quotation from The Odyssey by Homer
“Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy”
The Odyssey, Book 1, trans. Samuel Butler (1900)
The invocation announces a poem of wandering, intelligence and aftermath rather than a straightforward war epic.
