The Odyssey is the story of Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, on his way home from fighting in the Trojan War.
His journey takes ten years — on the high seas, he encounters the cyclops, the lotus-eaters, the alluring sirens as well as the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece that readers have come to know and love.
Shipwrecks, battles, monsters, threats natural and supernatural — Odysseus must keep his wits if he is to reach home safely.
The epic final chapter to Stephen Fry's outstanding retellings of the Greek myths.
