Homer's Odyssey also inspired a 20th century book titled Ulysses, a novel which took place all in one day in Dublin, Ireland. This book was been banned from the United States until 1933 and in England until 1937. Ulysses was originally published in 1922. The reasoning behind its ban was by on the

ground that it might cause its American

readers to harbor impure and lustful thoughts.

Virgil uses exact passages from the Odyssey and translates much of Homer's work into Latin.

      Homer's epic gets credit for a date of 700 B.C. but many scholars believe it to be written around 900 B.C. making the Trojan War recent history resulting in much of Homer's writing to be fairly accurate history.

From the Age of Romanticism, which followed the Age of Enlightenment:

          "It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well nestled in bed, and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is  ; the spirit of consciousness disengages itself come, not past; the limbs have just been tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labor of the day is gone. A gentle failure of the perceptions creeps over you ; the spirit of consciousness disengages itself once more, and with slow and hushing degrees like a mother detaching her hand from that of a sleeping child, the mind seems to have a balmy lid closing over it, like the eye,-it is closed,-the mysterious spirit has gone to take its airy rounds."
