How many Ulysses! And how many Odyssey! The protagonist of the Odyssey is the oldest and most modern character in Western literature. He casts a long shadow on the imagination of man, in all times. Art has constantly expressed and reinterpreted the myth. Telling about Ulysses has meant telling about himself, from every shore of time and telling about him using his own symbolic alphabets, his own artistic form, attributing to him the meaning of the historical moment and of his own system of values.

From the Odyssey to Dante's Comedy, from Tennyson to Joyce and throughout the twentieth century, from time to time, Ulysses is the hero of human experience, of endurance, of intelligence, of speech, of knowledge, of survival and of deception. . He is the man of many wiles and many forms.
