The Returns of Odysseus : University of California Press : 9780520211858 : 0520211855 : 25 Nov 1998 : Malkin takes an original approach to the subject of contacts between Greek settlers in the ancient Mediterranean. He argues that the 'Return myths' of Odysseus were used in a variety of ways by both settlers and non-Greeks, influencing both initial contacts and perceptions, and the actions that followed, from city foundations to decolonization. This volume is a detailed study of the relation between narrative and behaviour in a specific historical context.
