A retelling of The Odyssey by a master storyteller that evokes the golden age of mythical Greece.
The long siege is over, and Troy lies in ashes. The black ships of the Greek war-host set sail for home. But for heroic King Odysseus of Ithaca, the return voyage holds hazards far greater than any he faced during the Trojan War. Forced by ill winds into unknown seas, Odysseus and his crew must contend with ever-stranger perils: the flesh-eating Cyclops, Circe with her deadly enchantments, the soul-chilling Land of the Dead. Woven through with a spectacular cast of men, magicians, and monsters, Odysseus' harrowing journey home to his family and kingdom tests the limits of his strength, and the power of his will.
Rosemary Sutcliff's reimagining of the classic epic
The Odysseus is woven through with a spectacular cast of men and monsters.
Homer's epic poem,
The Odyssey, is one of the greatest adventure stories of all time
and Rosemary Sutcliff stays true to the classic tale and characters in
this authentic retelling rich with drama and heroism.
