Odysseus is famous for his mētis\, exactly the kind of practical reasoning upon which improvisation depends\, and close readings of his encounters abroad with the Cyclops and at home with Eumaeus\, Telemachus\, Penelope\, and Laertes will show that Odysseus’ lies and acts of deception do not temporarily disguise his true identity but rather enable him to construct himself anew upon his return. \nCarol Dougherty is Professor of Classical Studies and Margaret E. Deffenbaugh and LeRoy T. Carlson Professor in Comparative Literature at Wellesley College. She has published numerous books and articles on the literature and cultural history of archaic and classical Greece and is currently working on a book on Homecomings and Housekeepings in Classical and Contemporary Literature.

She is also the author of numerous publications; other books include a biography of Mithradates\, The Poison King\, a nonfiction finalist for the 2009 National Book Award\, and The First Fossil Hunters (2000). A research scholar in Classics and History of Science at Stanford\, Mayor’s work is often featured on the BBC\, The History Channel\, National Geographic\, History Today\, and other media.
