The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer. It centres on the Greek hero Odysseus and his long journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to return from Troy to his home island of Ithaca. This map tale describes Odysseus's epic voyage and the many foes he meets upon the way. Scholars, both ancient and modern, are divided as to whether or not any of the places visited by Odysseus are real, even so the locations shown in this tale give a good sense of Odysseus's journey around the Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands.

The value of a table like this is to be able to see what is going on in many areas simultaneously, so to keep the table to reasonable proportions all events are tabulated in the nearest 5 year cell; actual date (if known) is given in brackets.  Innovations and developments in technology are very difficult to date accurately. Unless there is a date in brackets after such an entry, its position in the table should be regarded as approximate, indicating our earliest evidence of such a technology, rather than the date of its invention (which would be earlier).

Portraits such as these are some of the most poignant surviving artifacts from around the time of, but not beyond, the 3rd century, in which the dead, such as they were, were painted and immortalized on planks of wood or other surfaces which sometimes covered the face of their mummy. It is generally accepted that this style of portrait was in vogue in the Greek colonies within Egypt, which gradually phased out with political, religious, and economic change. It is a fascinating spotlight in that period of Egypt's history, where the clear separation between the Greek and Egyptian portraits began to mingle and reveal citizens of mixed ancestry, combining Greek and Egyptian features in their faces.

Fotografías históricas de monumentos y edificios clásicos. La página que lo aloja declara en su página inicial: The Warburg Institute is concerned mainly with cultural history, art history and history of ideas, especially in the Renaissance. It aims to promote and conduct research on the interaction of cultures, using verbal and visual materials. It specializes in the influence of ancient Mediterranean traditions on European culture from the Middle Ages to the modern period. Its open-access library has outstanding strengths in Byzantine, Medieval and Renaissance art, Arabic, Medieval and Renaissance philosophy, the history of religion, science and magic, Italian history, the history of the classical tradition, and humanism. In several of these fields it can claim to be the most important library in the world. The photographic collection, organised by subject, documents the iconographical traditions of western art and facilitates research into these traditions as well as the identification of the subject of individual images. The archive holds the papers of Aby Warburg, Fritz Saxl and other staff members of the Institute, including both sides of their correspondence with many leading scholars of the twentieth century.

A sample of Linear B script, the earliest Greek writing, 1450 BC, and an adaptation of the earlier Minoan Linear A script. This piece contains information on the distribution of bovine, pig and deer hides to shoe and saddle-makers. It is a script made up of 90 syllabic signs, ideograms and numbers, a form earlier than that used for the Homeric poems. These clay tablets were fortuitously preserved when they were baked in the Mycenaean palace of Pylos fire 250 years later.

Αρχαία Ελληνική (Ancient Greek): λόγος ἀρχαίος, ἀεὶ ἀληθής. οὐκέτι φίλους αἵρει ὁ ἵμερος πάσιν ἀφανής  ἀλλάγη μίκρα, ὀλίγην φαίη, δέος καὶ φιλία, τέρας σὺν καλῇ, αὕτη ἔσθ' ἡ ζωή ἀεὶ ταὔτ' ἐστίν, ἀεὶ θαυμαστά, ἀεί ὡς παλαιά, ἀεὶ βέβαια ὡσπὲρ ἡλίος  λόγον ἀρχαίον ᾅσεθ' ἡ θέα. πάνθ' ἃ ἐφιστῇς μάλιστ' ἀλλάξει ὄντως μάγευμα ὡς ὁ ἡλίος ὕψιλος φαίνει, λόγος ἀρχαίος, τό πρώτον μέλος, τέρας σύν καλῇ English Ancient tale, always true. Not yet friends, longing seizes them, unseen by all. A small change, one might say little. Fear and friendship, the beast with the beauty, this is life.

As the sun appears above, ancient tale, the first song, the beast with the beauty.

To the ancient Greeks, every mystery in nature could be explained by the whims, passions and peculiarities of the gods. This episode features three favorite nature myths: - The Myth of Persephone, in which Hades, the god of the underworld, abducts the beautiful young Persephone, thereby plunging the earth into a permanent state of icy winter. It takes the great Zeus to negotiate a deal between Hades and Persephone's distraught mother, resulting in the arrival of spring, and the ongoing cycle of seasonal changes. - Echo & Narcissus, in which a talkative nymph loses her heart to the handsome Narcissus, only to discover the young man only has eyes for himself. - Helios, in which a brash young man named Phaethon borrows his father's sun chariot and finds out the hard way that pulling the sun across the sky each day is easier said than done.
