Discover the classic that inspired the blockbuster film
‘The best poetic version of The Odyssey to have appeared this century’ Hugh Lloyd-Jones
Penelope has been waiting for her husband Odysseus to return from Troy for many years. Little does she know that his path back to her has been blocked by astonishing and terrifying trials.
Will he overcome the hideous monsters, beautiful witches and treacherous seas that confront him?
This rich and beautiful adventure story is one of the most influential works of literature in the world.
Homer is a much-debated figure traditionally considered to have composed the two great oral poems The Odyssey and The Iliad in eighth or seventh-century-BC Greece
