Slepý Melésigenés s ťažkosťami hľadal prostriedky na živobytie, no
na druhej strane si získaval čoraz viac obdivu a sympatií u ľudí,
ktorí sa ho snažili povzbudzovať a podporovať. V Kýme na
maloázijskom pobreží ho nahovorili, aby požiadal o pomoc mestskú
radu a stal sa básnikom mesta na útraty obce. Rada však návrh
odmietla s tým, že „homérov“ (slepcov) živiť nebude. Odvtedy ostalo
Melésigenovi meno Homéros. Z Kýmy následne odišiel do Fókaie, potom
na ostrov Chios, kde sa živil ako učiteľ a básnik. Na Chiu prežil
šťastné obdobie života, zložil tu mnoho básní a stal sa známym v
celej Hellade. Neskôr cestoval po rôznych krajoch Grécka, zložil
eposy Ílias a Odysseia. Svoj život zakončil na ostrove Ios. V
druhej polovici Odysseie, ktorá sa k vám v tejto knihe dostáva,
Faiáci doplavia Odyssea do vlasti. Po príchode na Ithaku stretáva
bohyňu Athénu, ktorá mu radí, aby nešiel hneď do paláca, ale ako
žobrák najskôr zistil stav vecí vo svojom kráľovstve, a dodáva, že
má pre neho pripravený plán pomsty spupným ženíchom. Odysseus dá na
rady bohyne a s odhodlaním sa púšťa do príprav na boj so ženíchmi o
svoje postavenie vo vlasti a o svoju rodinu. Medzitým sa z ciest po
Sparte a Pyle vracia domov jeho syn Télemachos a Odysseova manželka
Pénelopé v paláci statočne odoláva ponukám ženíchom na vydaj.
Publikácia obsahuje aj Hérodotov Homérov životopis a druhú časť
štúdie Ivana Janeka Homérova Odysseia, ktorá približuje jednotlivé
časti eposu.
