Volume 3 of
Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic explores interconnections between the
Odyssey and the
Nostoi and the
Telegony of the Epic Cycle, a collection of lost early Greek epics. The
Odyssey is situated between the narrative time of the two Cycle poems, with the
Nostoi narrating the returns of heroes after the Trojan War and the
Telegony narrating Odysseus’s adventures after his return to Ithaca. The six articles that follow the introduction compare and contrast the three epics, employing different methodologies and reaching divergent conclusions. Topics include pre-Homeric mythological traditions, the potential for intertextuality between orally performed epics, and the flexible boundaries of early epics.
