More about the book

Nalin Ranasinghe boldly critiques humanity through the lens of Homer's epics, particularly focusing on Odysseus as a complex character embodying both virtue and vice. He argues that Homer's insights are foundational to Western civilization and remain relevant today, emphasizing the importance of self-knowledge and moderation. Predrag Cicovacki's preface highlights Ranasinghe's belief that Homer reveals essential truths about the human condition, urging readers to engage with the texts as a means of understanding their own lives and the persistent struggles within human nature.
