Odyssey

Troy has fallen. After ten years of war, the Greeks can now set sail for home—but what awaits them there?
King Agamemnon must return to Mycenae and to Clytemnestra, who never forgave him for sacrificing their daughter, Iphigenia, so that the gods would grant the Achaeans a fair wind…
Odysseus, however, setting sail for Ithaca, longs to embrace his beloved Penelope and Telemachus, his only son. But the gods mock mortals, even heroes. Enraged by his arrogance, Poseidon condemns him to wander the seas for ten long years.
One-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, colossal whirlpools, hypnotic Sirens, seductive sorceresses and jealous goddesses, temptations and torments beyond human endurance will not, however, break the resourceful Odysseus…
Fry’s Odyssey retells, with vividness, insight, and humour, the Homeric epic, the most famous heroic story of all time. A story of hope, love, and nostalgia, of return and redemption. A story for all generations, for all ages, for all time.
