Summary/Abstract: Fear is frequently illustrated in Odyssey, both as male and female response to threatening acts or situations. A restrained search of the related passages in the first half of the poem highlights both the Homeric specific approach of the fear and the linguistic equivalence in the corpus of the major Romanian translations, especially the 1929 edition of Cezar Papacostea (Odyssey I-XII, original metre).
