Ulysses is a character who has traversed centuries of history. From the Homeric myth, revisited, transformed, and widely used as a topos in countless stories across different media, Ulysses has become the archetype of a character that is cyclically reintroduced in various forms. A contemporary role that, even today, lives on through its profound relevance.

In Odyssey, the Story of All Stories (published by XP Publishing), anthropologist Valentina Ferranti and professor and essayist Gianluca Marletta explore the character by delving into the myth through symbolism, history, and the discoveries made over time.

The Odyssey, the story of all stories, is narrated in this book as an external and internal journey that describes the path of man and hero towards his true spiritual homeland. For the first time, the two authors of the essay retrace its steps, outlining a fascinating itinerary through myth, symbol, religion, esotericism, history, and archaeology. Who are the Gods? Who is man? What importance do male and female characters hold? What is our destiny? Who hides behind the name of Homer? Memory, forgetfulness, songs and women, monsters, abysses, Hades and shadows, the return of the King, and the "terrible justice" are some of the eternal and universal elements that the Sacred Poem offers to people of all times and places.
