Odyssey

Odyssey Homer wrote the classic epic The Odyssey more than 2,500 years ago. At that time in ancient Greek society, as well as in the whole of the ancient world, the dominant role was played by men. Society was organized, directed, and controlled by men, and it was accepted that women occupied a subservient and inferior position. Women, of course, were valued, but were expected to possess certain traits and perform certain tasks that men demanded of them. Does Homer writing in The Odyssey support or refute the common belief of his time regarding women' Homer endorsed the dominating belief of his time concerning women by treating the female characters unequally and differently compared to the male characters in The Odyssey Regardless of the way an individual describes society in a given time period, women, over the course of the years, have always been an important issue to focus on. Rarely are they treated as true equals; neither in reality nor in the writing.
