The odyssey is more of a folk tale, as odysseus is a different type of hero- more of a folk hero. When odysseus encounters other people, his curiosity allows us to see the construct of greek identiy, and what makes the greek greek via how the treat guests ect. The odyssey belongs to the nostoi - the return of heros. Books 1-4 are about telemachus his son and phebe. Odysseus is the wisest of the greek heros, the fav of athena and he is also the king of athena. His is the son of two morals- he is not a demi god. She is faithful although she has many suitors. His father left when he was very young.
