Polish classicist argues Homer copied the Odyssey's structure from Gilgamesh
Polish classicist Dr Jan Kozłowski has presented evidence that Homer closely modelled the three-part narrative structure of the Odyssey on the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh. The researcher does not call it plagiarism but rather a common ancient practice of creative borrowing from earlier literary traditions. The topic has gained fresh attention ahead of Christopher Nolan's upcoming film adaptation of the Odyssey.
