What is the author's style in The Odyssey by Homer?

The language in the Odyssey is incredibly rich. The story is full of beautiful imagery that evokes the narrator’s love for Greece and for life. The Odyssey can therefore tell us a lot about ancient Greece, from the food they ate and the clothes they wore, to what the land looked like, how they farmed and what animals they raised, and what they ships were like. There is, in particular, a lot of farming imagery and nautical imagery in the Odyssey, reflecting the important themes of civilization and ordinary life, and of travelling.
