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.

 Agamemnon must return to his wife Clytemnestra, who has been nursing her rage since he sacrificed their daughter to the Gods for a favourable wind. Her revenge will know no bounds. Meanwhile, Odysseus has angered the God Poseidon and he is cursed to wander the seas, facing angry monsters and possessive demi-gods as he attempts to return to Ithaca and his patient, clever wife Penelope.

A story of great adventure, heroic exploits and sometimes brutal reckonings, ODYSSEY proves that the journey home is just as astonishing, magical, sorrowful and triumphant as the adventure that preceded it
