Description
The epic final chapter in Stephen Fry's global bestselling retellings of the Greek myths.
Odyssey begins with Troy having fallen. After ten years of war, Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife Penelope and of teaching his son Telemachus a warrior's ways. However, the gods toy with the desires of little mortals. Angered by this upstart's presumption, Poseidon—God of the ocean realms—curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.
Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches, and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man's endurance.
Yet he is no mere mortal—and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and to his destiny...
