Anticlea figure in the Odyssey has a much smaller presence in the Homeric poem as in the Aeneid. Only we know by its shadow, speaking to Ulysses at rhapsody XI. And Anticlea in the Kazantzakis’s Odyssey also has a minimal presence. With emotion evokes Odysseus in a dream in which the mother appears in moments of agony. But he does not speak; his son supposes that she says certain words. And near the end of his pilgrimage, at rhapsody XXIII, Odysseus briefly evokes his young mother, when she is nursing him.
