The epic is a poetic literary genre that highlights adventures, travel and war. The Odyssey of Ulysses, written by Homer, is undoubtedly one of the most famous works of the genre. Its main episodes have become mythical, such as Ulysses' encounter with the sirens or his fight against the Cyclops. Writers such as Albert Camus, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry or Sylvain Tesson wanted to reproduce the itinerary of Ulysses in the Mediterranean Sea. If The Iliad is really a journey, The Odyssey is only the return of this journey. It is however only there that Ulysses becomes one of the most famous characters of Greek mythology. What does it take to become a true hero?
