Odyssey Papyrus · Book I, lines 1–25

A fragment of the Odyssey on authentic papyrus.

This scroll reproduces the first 25 lines of Book I of Homer's Odyssey, preserved in its original language: Ancient Greek. The text is presented in capital letters without accents or diacritical marks, following a form of writing inspired by ancient texts while making it easier to read.

The fragment begins with the famous invocation to the Muse and introduces Odysseus, his travels and sufferings after the Trojan War, his desire to return to Ithaca, and some of the characters and conflicts that will shape his story.

A particularly interesting piece for teachers, students, and fans of the classical world, as it allows them to work with an original text by Homer and approach Ancient Greek in a different way, outside the pages of a book.

And also, simply, for anyone who wants to hold in their hands a fragment of one of the oldest and most universal stories in our culture, preserved on authentic papyrus.

Includes a cotton bag for storing and protecting the scroll.
