This work shows possible analysis over the text Odyssey from Nikos Kazantzakis and the Odyssey from Homer, both analysis developed under the Digital Humanities discipline that merge the text interpretation ideas from the humanities with the computational algorithms used for numerical purposes applied to both texts. This kind of analysis detects words and phrase patterns that can provide new insights on the current analized text or potentially others. Results are shown using heat maps applied to the animal appearances on both Odissean works using computational techniques to illustrate the visual and numerical interpretative potential . This exploration is driven by two starting questions: how are the animals represented in the Kazantzakis Odyssey? and which are the adjectives more often used?
