The conception of the Other has long been a problem for philosophers. In this text Francois Hartog examines the truth of Levinas' assertion and, in the process, uncovers a different picture. In fact, he argues, "The Odyssey" played a crucial role in shaping this attitude in the Greek mind, serving as inspiration for voyages in which new encounters caused the Greeks to revise their concepts of self and other.
