The author described assorted interpretations of a fragment of The Odyssey and considered the problem of creating a work of art. He has in mind the principle “that incessantly comes into being in non-fulfilment. […] A work that belongs to the domain of produced things constantly attacks, as if challenging the order of created things. This challenge must be regarded as initially (and thus also essentially) distant from the principle of emulation and even hostile towards it”. While analysing the fragment concerning Odysseus’ bedchamber, the author posed a crucial question about creativity conceived as emulation and theories opposing the classical principle of mimesis.

Homer’s epic poems represent their contemporary world. These epics give detailed descriptions about the peoples and cultures living in the Mediterranean area. Several ethnic groups appear in the epics, whose home lay far away from the Greek homeland, in the Balkans. The Odyssey may be regarded as the most valuable source of the two epics from a geographical point of view. For instance, this is the first written source of the Kimmers, even if there are only a few verses about them. During his journeys, Ulysses was able to reach several territories, which were less well known in the age of Homer. This is the reason why we have only a less detailed picture of these peoples, and why our knowledge of these cultures, ethnic groups and civilizations is so fragmentary. In my paper I try to figure out how the author described these peoples, what kind of attributes he employed in their description, and how we could interpret this information. Applying all these we could be able to examine the Greek attitude toward foreigners in the 8th century B.C.

The Return of Odysseus is a multifaceted drama, which speaks about the fate ofman, about the impossibility of escaping from destiny. It is an interpretation ofthe Odyssey according to Wyspianski. Completely different, stripped of hypocrisy,true, showing a man, not a hero. It is also the most beautiful example of how muchthe playwright based his work on the legacy of antiquity, how much Greek culturemattered to him. It shows an incredible admiration and desire to understand antiquity, but also a desire to find in it himself, his own views, philosophy, spiritualpath. Wyspianski proves that one’s own interpretations can lead to the discovery ofnew aspects of already known works. Every difference shown in this article proveshow strong a link the two works share
