I do not know if I have brought up this question here before, but there is
something still unclear with the name of our project.

We used the name odysseus gave himself in the cave of polyphem. He told
himself "Nobody" which would mean "oudeis" in greek. We found this in a
text about the odyssey citing this scene, and we looked it up in the
dictionary. Now Dean Walraff (who is currently working on an CD Rom about
the Odyssey) told me that in his translation the word "outis" is used. I am
a little confused, because I found no explanation for this now.

Has anybody already a greek translation of the Odyssey?

tnx
Mon
