The Odyssey

Name: The Odyssey
Author: Homer

Homer · 1900 · Adventure, Fantasy

Troy has fallen, and one Greek captain does not come home. For ten more years Ulysses is lost to the world — shipwrecked, enchanted, and hunted by the sea-god's wrath — while his faithful wife Penelope holds off a house of suitors in rocky Ithaca. From the one-eyed Cyclops and the witch Circe to the Sirens' song and the land of the dead, Homer's Odyssey is the first and greatest adventure: a tale of monsters and gods, cunning and endurance, and the long, hard road home. In the clear prose of Samuel Butler.
