The Odyssey

Homer's epic poem is the foundational adventure story of Western literature. After ten years of war at Troy, the cunning hero Odysseus begins his long journey home to Ithaca—a voyage that will take another ten years and test him against monsters, witches, and the wrath of the gods. He must outwit the man-eating Cyclops, resist the deadly song of the Sirens, navigate between Scylla and Charybdis, and escape the enchantress Circe, all while his faithful wife Penelope fends off ruthless suitors at home. A timeless tale of perseverance, cleverness, and the longing for home that has captivated readers for nearly three thousand years. A Raven's Gate Classics edition with haunting new cover art.
