Now a major movie.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.

All my days are consumed in longing – to travel home and see the day of my arrival dawn. If a god must shatter me upon the wine-dark sea, so be it.

One of the most enduring tales ever told, The Odyssey is the original homecoming story. After the fall of Troy, victorious war-hero Odysseus sets off on his long return to Ithaca – an adventure which takes him through strange and foreign lands and brings a challenge at every turn from six-headed sea monsters and man-eating giants, seductive sorceresses and vengeful gods.

Passed down through the generations for three thousand years, Homer's The Odyssey has been celebrated as an undisputed great of Western literature. Here in a translation by T. E. Lawrence, this timeless epic explores the longing, determination, and courage of those who find themselves a long way from home and asks whether someone who has been at war can ever truly return the same.
