ABSTRACT
The Odyssey is one of the highest products of human creation of all times. In the book Mythos and Voice, Charles Underwood presents an innovative perspective on this work of art, discussing the development of the main characters by the light of psychological and anthropological theories. Then, he discusses the dialogical theories of ontogenetic development using the characters of Odyssey as specimen. I finally suggest that the Underwood’s insights about the characters of Odyssey can provide fruitful hints for the understanding of the identity enactment in contemporary societies, by revisiting the positioning process and the dialogical construction of identity.
