While remaining true to the content and spirit of the original work, Simon Armitage has transformed Homer's twelve-thousand-line Odyssey into a compact series of dynamic conversations. Gods and mortals; heroes and antagonists; family, friends, and enemies—all have their say here, bringing a lively immediacy to the ancient epic. Filled with wit and adventure, this fast-paced rendering of The Odyssey (originally commissioned for BBC radio) offers a fantastic way to enjoy the classic again…or for the first time.
