Odyssey
All ancient and nearly all modern editions and translations of the "Odyssey" are divided into 24 books. This division is convenient, but it may not be original. Many scholars believe it was developed by Alexandrian editors of the 3rd century BC. In the Classical period, moreover, several of the books (individually and in groups) were given their own titles: the first four books, focusing on Telemachus, are commonly known as the "Telemachy". Odysseus' narrative, Book 9, featuring his encounter with the cyclops Polyphemus, is traditionally called the "Cyclopeia". Book 11, the section describing his meeting with the spirits of the dead is known as the "Nekuia". Books 9 through 12, wherein Odysseus recalls his adventures for his Phaeacian hosts, are collectively referred to as the "Apologoi": Odysseus' "stories". Book 22, wherein Odysseus kills all the Suitors, has been given the title "Mnesterophonia": "slaughter of the Suitors". This concludes the Greek Epic Cycle, though fragments remain of the "alternative ending" of sorts known as the "Telegony".
