ODYSSEUS: The Complete Homer: A Story Retelling by Mr Ray

ODYSSEUS The Complete Homer A Story Retelling Before there were heroes, there was one man. For ten years, Odysseus fought at Troy. For ten more, he tried to come home. Gods blocked his path. Monsters devoured his crew. Sorcerers stole his will. The sea itself rose against him. And back on Ithaca, his wife waited, his son grew up without him, and strangers ate his food and slept in his halls, certain the king would never return. This is the Odyssey. The oldest adventure story in the world. The journey that every hero story since has been trying to repeat. This retelling follows Homer's original Greek faithfully across all twenty-four books, every god, every monster, every storm, every homecoming, told in clear flowing English prose that moves like a story from the first page to the last. Nothing is invented. Nothing is cut. The Cyclops is here. The Sirens are here. The descent into the Underworld is here. Penelope weaving and unweaving her cloth through twenty years of longing is here. If you have seen Christopher Nolan's film and want to read the story that inspired it, this is that story, told exactly as Homer told it. Read more
