Akosha Odysseus Don't you remember?
Death.
As you say, we get the word complicated, certainly in Emily Wilson's translation in the very first line, introducing Odysseus himself.
But the story itself is also very complicated.
It's not linear.
We're not plunged into an epic at the beginning, working our way through to the end.
We get...
We get somebody else's story first.
We get a parallel narrative to Odysseus' homecoming.
Then we switch to his son for four books.
Then we get to Odysseus.
And the bits that we think we know, which are the story about the cyclops and the sirens, that's told in his own words in flashback in the middle of the book.
So you end up wondering, what do we know?
How much is his invention?
And of course, he himself is very complicated.
He is the man of many ways.
He is resourceful.
And we have to see him getting in and out of many different difficult situations.
