History of Odyssey

In 1488 the first printed version (still in Greek) was produced in Florence.

In 1971, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney founded a small engineering company, Syzygy Engineering,[17] that designed Computer Space, the world’s first commercially available arcade video game, for Nutting Associates.

In 1972, Bushnell attended a demonstration of the first-ever home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey – a brown-and-beige plastic box released in August 1972 that played a small variety of silent games, including Table Tennis, a competitive tennis game that probably looks pretty familiar to you.

In 2008 the Build-a-Hand (Helping Hands) program was created when Lain Hensley saw how building prosthetic hands for amputees around the world could teach complex promblem solving, collaboration and team purpose.

In 2017 Emily Wilson became, according to her publisher, the first woman to translate and publish the Odyssey in English.
