The Odyssey journey to the Arabs

How did the Iliad, the oldest human epic, transfer from the writings of Homer to the minds of Arabs? This book traces the journey of the immortal text through ages, from the shores of the Greeks to the corners of the East, following the path of knowledge and cultural exchange between peoples. The author in his five chapters narrates the journey of the Iliad as it crosses the boundaries of time and language, from the earliest papyri to the efforts of jurists and scholars in authenticating the text, then to the Syriac translations that paved its way to the Arabs, where it left a deep impact on Arabic literature.
