It is to this epic that the Roman writer [[Virgil]] pays tribute in his creation of the masterpiece, the [[Aeneid]] (books I to XII), best known for its elegant use of hypermetric elision, multiple correspondence similes and [[litotes]].

==Inspirations of Modern Works of Art==
Odysseus, under his [[Latin]] name Ulysses, has at various times served as the inspiration for other works of art, including a poem by [[Alfred Lord Tennyson]]<ref>See main article, [[Ulysses (Tennyson)]].</ref> (made famous for its ending line, in perfect [[iambic pentameter]] - "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield"), and a novel by [[James Joyce]] (received initially as literary [[pornography]]). More recently, it provided the inspiration for the Coen Brothers film ''O Brother, Where Art Thou?''.
