The Odyssey
by Homer
“These stories enable us to rehearse bad situations without actually having to be in danger.”
Peter Worley, Philosopher
“It’s a very easy read, and a completely different world from The Iliad. Whereas The Iliad depicts a militaristic and war-wrecked world, The Odyssey is like a fairytale and it’s fascinatingly complex. It’s told in flashbacks, it has time that’s extended and time that’s compressed, and it’s told from different viewpoints.”
