Description
The greatest adventure ever told.
After ten years of brutal warfare at the gates of Troy, the clever hero Odysseus begins his long journey home to Ithaca. But the gods are fickle, and the sea is unforgiving. Driven off course by the wrath of Poseidon, Odysseus must navigate a world of monsters, enchantments, and impossible choices.
From the cave of the flesh-eating Cyclops and the seductive song of the Sirens to the literal depths of the Underworld, The Odyssey is a breathtaking exploration of human resilience and the longing for home. While Odysseus battles the supernatural abroad, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must contend with a swarm of treacherous suitors vying for his throne and his wife's hand.
A cornerstone of the Western canon, Homer’s epic poem is more than just a myth—it is a timeless study of the human spirit, the bonds of family, and the power of the intellect over brute force. This digital edition is formatted for an immersive reading experience, perfect for scholars and first-time adventurers alike.
