About this listen

 For almost 3,000 years, the Odyssey has captured imaginations with seafaring adventure, romance, friendships, as well as feats of heroism and of bloody revenge. The tale of Odysseus’ long and eventful journey home remains one of the greatest epics ever told, inspiring new translations, adaptations and retellings year after year. Now, this beautifully illustrated guide to the ancient Greek tale invites readers to take a closer look at the heroes, deities, and monsters that bring the legendary story to life.

The Odyssey: An Illustrated Guide features 40 stunning full-color illustrations and offers a deep dive into the most important characters in the epic. Author and host of the popular History and Literature Podcast, Doug Metzger PhD, brings his characteristic humor and attention to detail to compelling character profiles of the main players in Homer’s epic. Organized in the order they appear in the poem, each entry introduces a new figure in Odysseus’s world, retelling the story of The Odyssey along the way.

Whether you’re a newcomer to ancient Greek myths or returning to a beloved classic, The Odyssey: An Illustrated Guide is a must-read for anyone looking for some classic adventure! Customs & Traditions Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences
