For almost three thousand 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’s long and eventful journey home remains one of the greatest epics ever told, inspiring new translations, adaptations, and retellings year after year.
