Resumen
The references to the legend of Ulises are frequent in literature.
It is known that Homer recorded a legend that had existed for a long time before he wrote the Odessy.
Some researchers such as the french profesor Paul Faure uphold the idea that Ulises was a cretan while traditionally the episodes of Ulises are situated in the occidental seas. It is possible that the legend of Ulises was taken by the greek sailors and given a new setting as they discovered new coasts in their exploration of the Mediterranean.
On the other hand some writers have tried to interpret the symbolic aspect of the Homerica epic tale. Dante imagined Ulises as a man abandonned by God, for having surpassed the limits imposed on him. For Nikos Kazantzakis, he symbolizes a rebellion and a challenging of the limitations of the human condition.
