Homer told his stories through poetry. Homer also performed his poems which engaged people and made them much more than poetry. People were able to see and hear the stories that Homer created.
Odysseus' journey was originally shared through the ancient Greek epic poem, "The Odyssey," attributed to the poet Homer. The story follows Odysseus' struggles and adventures as he tries to return home after the Trojan War. It was likely recited orally at gatherings and later written down.
If you are asking about the way it was originally conveyed to an audience, then it would have been through verbal story telling. This was the way many of the epic poems of the time were heard.
Epics in poetry originated far earlier than printing press and papyrus. In the beginning, they were handed over from person to person and from generation to generation orally, i.e., mouth-to-mouth transferring. They are known in literature as Oral Epics. The Beowulf, created in a mixture of ancient English and French is a perfect example. As they were handed over from generation to generation, there were additions and subtractions throughout. Therefore, what oral epics exist today are not pure creations of a single poet. They were meant to be performed before large audiences, publicly, and loudly, and therefore strictly had to conform itself as a performing art. Moreover, what acceptable for one generation needn't necessarily have been acceptable for the next generation. Therefore there has been continuous editing in the body literature of oral epics. It is only when papyrus, and then paper, and then printing came into being that editing through generations stopped for epics.
The poem was originally performed verbally.
