ODYSSEY (STEPHEN FRYS GREEK MYTHS) (PB)

Wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, has won Troy for the Greeks after a decade of brutal, bloody warfare. Now the warrior remembers he is a husband and father, and his gaze turns towards home. Impeded every moment by the wrath of Poseidon, our hero is tempted and tormented on a ten-year journey which sees him encounter one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses. Stephen Fry’s retelling of Homer’s epic poem follows Mythos, Heroes and Troy.
