The Odyssey - A Retelling in Prose #980347

The war is over but the journey home has just begun. In this gripping retelling of Homer's second great epic, Odysseus, the cleverest of all Greek heroes, sets sail for Ithaca after the fall of Troy. What should be a simple voyage becomes a ten-year odyssey through a world of wonders and terrors.

Face the one-eyed Cyclops in his cave of stone. Hear the deadly song of the Sirens. Navigate the narrow strait between the six-headed monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis. Stand before the sorceress Circe as she turns men into swine. And all the while, in Ithaca, faithful Penelope wards off a hundred arrogant suitors.

This retelling in prose brings the ancient poem to life in clear, vivid prose that modern readers will love. Whether you're discovering Odysseus for the first time or returning to these timeless stories, this audiobook will guide you to the thrilling, moving, and unforgettable heart of The Odyssey.
