Overview

To what extent this accumulated material was already shaped before its appearance here we cannot say. Possibly enough fragments of early song contribute something to the large harmony, and later times may also have admitted interpolations. But in the Odyssey there is a prevailing evenness of style, firmness of plot, and harmony in the presentation of characters and situations. Whatever diverse poetic materials were originally employed, the resulting unity is conspicuous and astonishing. The Odyssey is no chance conglomerate. It is a masterpiece of poetic art, beautiful in its parts, and no less beautiful in its structure, bearing throughout the impress of a single mind-his whom we rightly call Homerus, the Joiner, the Composer.
