Yet, for some 2,500 years, there have been persistent folk memories that his genius extended far beyond literature and that scientific knowledge was hidden in his stories of heroes, villains, gods, ghosts, monsters, and witches. Research now reveals that at a time when the Greeks did not have a written script, Homer concealed an astonishing range of learning about calendar making and cycles of the sun, moon, and planet Venus in the Odyssey, his epic of the Fall of Troy and the adventures of the warrior-king Odysseus. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 00 Homer|xKnowledge|xAstronomy. 650 0 Astronomy, Greek, in literature. 650 7 HISTORY / Ancient / Greece.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Wood, Kenneth,|d1935- 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWood, Florence.|tHomer's secret odyssey. |dStroud : History Press 2011.|z9780752460413 (pbk.) |w(DLC)2010681083 914 frd00010554
