About this listen

 The story of Odysseus continues to capture the popular imagination from fiction like Madeline Miller’s Circe to Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film starring Matt Damon that’s already selling out theaters: and this beautifully illustrated guide based on the character profiles of the most important figures in the ancient Greek tale goes beyond the recap to explore the narrative with a focus on the heroes, deities, and monsters that drive the classic tale.

A swashbuckling hero, a fearsome Cyclops, the deadly sirens, a pantheon of meddling Olympian gods like Poseidon and Menelaus…the characters of The Odyssey have captured imaginations since the epic poem was first written in the 8th century.

With The Odyssey: An Illustrated Guide, you can rediscover the classic story in a new way—told through illustrated portraits of its indelible characters.

This book is a voyage through the heroes, deities, monsters, and commoners of The Odyssey—in the order they appear in Homer’s original tale. As you come to know The Odyssey’s most famous figures, you’ll also hear the story of The Odyssey itself—a tale of a hero’s long journey home.

Get to know The Odyssey characters, who are as timeless and beloved as the original tale in The Odyssey: An Illustrated Guide!
