He focuses in particular on the hero’s description of his frequent raiding activities and on his subsequent sojourn in the land of the pharaohs, and connections between Odysseus’ false narrative and the historical experiences of one particular Sea Peoples the ‘Sherden of the Sea.’We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
