This book focuses on mythos and voice in the Odyssey, to illuminate its characters' journeys from social displacement through discovery and recovery. Mythos and Voice approaches the Odyssey as a narrative of displacement - a narrative that maps the social displacement of its characters, explores the cognitive consequences of that displacement, and embodies the variable strategies by which those characters learn to resolve their displacement. It is a narrative that also employs and elaborates the characters' own narratives of displacement as genres enabling them to resist externally imposed definitions of their situations and to redefine and ultimately reclaim their own place in the world, not as it was before their displacement, but as it must be, given the new post-heroic world in which they now live.
