Sažetak
Homer's epics had significant influence on the development of narratives. In literary history Homer's opus was regarded as the beginning of literature in European cultural realm. On the other hand, one of the most important literary characters in the Antiquity was "Odysseus – the one that starts an extraordinary sequence of literary heroes in the following centuries".
This paper deals with Odysseus' ordeals – from Troy to Ithaca, which influenced the formulation of paradigm of fairytale hero's actions. Ordeals are marked by obstacles that are placed by gods, and in fairytales those are typical actions of heroes who overcome obstacles in order to achieve justice or undo the wrong. The authors select the motives from the Odyssey that are integrated into the narrative structure of the fairytale. Those motives are based on mythological perception of life and world.
