520 |a One of the special charms of the Odyssey, according to Charles Segal, is the way it transports readers to fascinating places.

Segal also considers such topics as the relationship between bard and audience, the implications of the Odyssey's self-consciousness about its own poetics, and Homer's treatment of the nature of poetry.
