CONCLUSION

As the journey of Odysseus reaches its close, so does the journey of this book. I hope that you have learned something along the way. The Greeks were a complicated, yet fascinating, people whose myths have laid the foundation for Western literature, language, music, and art. At the very least, maybe you have gained an appreciation for these stories and their impact on modern times. My true hope is that you have learned to love the classical myths by experiencing them in a new way—and that you have seen the truth in myth.
