Summary/Abstract: The Homeric epic brings to the firmament a whole topos of polyhedral eros. Odysseus, the archetype of Eros, opens new unifying paths that converge towards merging his inner feminine with the amorous impulse of young women. Eros is therefore made up of the woven canvases of the four symbol women: Penelope, Calypso, Circe and Nausicaa.
