- "The Odyssey as we have it is an epic of over twelve thousand lines. It has been divided, like the Iliad and probably at the same time, into twenty-four books. Book number and line number are the standard terms of reference. The contents can be, very broadly, divided as follows: The Telemachy or Adventures of Telemachos, i-iv. The Homecoming of Odysseus, v-viii and xiii. 1-187. The Great Wanderings, ix-xii. Odysseus on Ithaka, xiii.187-xxiv.548."--Introduction.
