Summary

The world's greatest adventure story is now the source of the epic film from Christopher Nolan.

Long considered the world's greatest adventure story, The Odyssey recounts the arduous struggles of a man who seeks to reunite with his family in ancient Greece. After the ten-year Trojan war, the heroic King Odysseus begins his ten-year journey home to Ithaca, where his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await his return. Along his travels, Odysseus encounters the nymph Calypso, the witch-goddess Circe, the six-headed monster Scylla, and the sea monster Charybdis. Originally meant to be heard rather than read, this great epic—translated by Samuel Butler—is now the source of a film by Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan.
