Publisher's Summary

The long siege is ended. Troy lies in ashes. The black ships of the Greek war-host set sail for home – but for King Odysseus of Ithaca, the return voyage holds hazards far greater than any he faced in the Trojan War.

A sequel to Black Ships Before Troy, Rosemary Sutcliff’s retelling of The Odyssey transforms Homer’s complex epic poem into a traveller’s tale with a cast of men, magicians and monsters: the flesh-eating Cyclops, the deadly enchantment of Circe and Odysseus’s battle to regain his wife and long-lost kingdom.

Perfect Introduction

We hear about these stories all our lives and yet how many of us have read them. This is the perfect way to be introduced to Homer's story of Odysseus and his wanderings. The story is compelling even though gods and goddesses 'step in' where in real life they may not. Robert Glenister is an amazing narrator who gives the story life, emotion, accents and immediacy. Highly recommend this listen.
