What Odyssey asserts, what it interprets, and what remains open.
Odyssey is a cultural and educational application. It is written for curiosity and study, not as a scholarly authority. It does not replace academic works, primary sources or the teaching of a historian.
Odyssey separates what is documented from what is debated. Where historians disagree, competing interpretations are presented as such and the app does not decide between them for you. Where a question remains open, it is shown as open rather than settled.
Several sections reconstruct a place at a given moment — a city, a day, a world. These reconstructions are historically grounded but remain reconstructions: where a detail is uncertain, it is not presented as a fact. Illustrations, maps and schematic views are aids to understanding, not documentary evidence; positions on a map may be approximate and are rarely to scale.
The names given to eras are conventions, most of them European. The app says so where it matters: calling a period the “Middle Ages” describes one region's history, while elsewhere other worlds were at their height.
Odyssey takes no political, religious or national position. It describes beliefs, empires, conflicts and ideas as objects of study. Presenting a view held in the past is not endorsing it.
Despite the care taken, an error or an outdated statement may remain. If you find one, write to contact@cibeleinc.com — corrections are welcome and are made in the next version.
