Histoire
Jack Kernigan is having a bad day...a bad year...a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits...something. Something big...something furry...something invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth. Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race.

Histoire
Seventeen years ago, King Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. None of them has returned, and the women of Ithaca have been left behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. Now, speculation is mounting that her husband is dead, and suitors are beginning to knock at her door. No man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne—not yet. But everyone waits for the balance of power to tip, and Penelope knows that any choice she makes could plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war.

All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

Down a narrow alley in the small coastal town of Mallow Island, South Carolina, lies a stunning cobblestone building comprised of five apartments. It's called The Dellawisp and it's named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy. When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother's apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts. Each with their own story.

Description
Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless.
The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, the heroism and treachery of its combatants unmatched in song and story. Driven by fierce passions and loyalties, men and gods battle to a devastating conclusion.
The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife. Though the stormy god of the ocean has sworn vengeance against him, and witches and sirens try to lure him off course, Odysseus is clever and has the brilliant goddess Athena on his side.
Homer (9th or 8th century B.C.) is the presumed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems of ancient Greece. Virtually nothing is known about his life. Tradition has it that he was blind. Most scholars believe he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey by relying on oral traditions. Their value lies chiefly in the poetry itself, moving from sublime passages about the gods and heroic exploits to passages expressing deep human emotion.

Great story for all ages
I choose a 5 because this is the classic story and performed very well by the narrator. I recommend this to all but know it is long and not a quick listen and requires you think about the messages it gives.

Fantastic Narration of a Timeless Classic
Homer is Homer; no surprises there. The best part of this translation/edition is by far the narration. Heald is excellent. While Homer can be difficult to follow on a first read/listen, I think this audiobook would be a fantastic accompaniment if one were to follow along with a hard copy of Rouse’s translation. Heald really brings the texts — written in 8th century BCE — to life.

A Good Grind
There's a lot of mixed reviews on this book so I'll try to provide some clarity. First off the narrator did an incredible job pronouncing the names and using inflection in his voice.
This book will be a bit confusing if you dont know much about Greek mythology but you will get through it.
The book is broken into two main parts, 1. of the war and 2. of Odysseus's return home.
The first part is of the war on Troy and it's practically impossible to keep track of all the characters. In ways it's comical how the war is fought and quite descriptive. I found the end of this part didn't give me closure for the story.
The second part was much easier to follow (still a bit tricky to recall the dozen or so characters). This part of the story flows nicely and comes to a nice close.
If you like tales of humanity and Greek mythology you'll probably enjoy this. The 25h is daunting and any advanced reader/listener would enjoy this. Not for a beginner at all though. Hope this helps with your decision.

Serviceable Rendition
Homer's tales about the war at Troy and the Gods-complicated return of Odysseus to Ithaca are truly timeless. Whether you're a professor of Classics at some university or simply a fan of Brad Pitt/Eric Bana films, these stories are worthy of your attention. 'The Iliad' is an action-heavy listing of heroes violently killed on both sides of the war - focussing on Achilles and Hector.. while 'The Odyssey' is more of a conventional entry into the "Greek Mythology" genre. Regardless, both warrant your appreciation.
I have read/listened to several iterations of the works, and W.H.D Rouse's translation is capable - although glaringly employing some artistic license (I guarantee that the 8th Century BCE Greek poet never used the word "Antediluvian", for example).
If you're looking for academic adherence to Homer's exact words - look elsewhere.. but this interpretation is very, very good.
Likewise, in this recording's favor, Blackstone Audio Inc. employed Anthony Heald to read the works. His diction, timbre, cadence, and timing are satisfyingly unimpeachable.. but one would hope a professional reader would provide nothing less. His didactic/emotive tone, however, is uncommonly spot-on for what is offered. Notwithstanding occasional uncomfortably loud deep breaths (avoid earbuds with this one), Heald's performance is exceptional.
Altogether, there are better recordings available for these tales (and more accurate translations) - but this 7.5/10-star offering would fit well into your library. Yes, Audible asking for a Credit would be unconscionable (better options beckon for your money).. but if you can get this audiobook included with your subscription, do not hesitate.
