Abstract

This article analyses the different versions of the Atridae’s story which coexist within the
Odyssey. On the one hand, Agamemnon’s return and murder (Od. XI 385-464 e XXIV
191-202) are useful to describe his destiny as opposed to Odysseus’ ultimately happy
νόστος. On the other hand, Orestes’ portrait and vengeance (Od. I 28-43 e III 192-316),
untraditionally shown in a more political way, seem to relate to the Peisistratids, who possibly
commissioned the written registration of the poem.
