This dramatic adaptation of Homer's myth begins with a modern young
woman who is struggling to understand Robert Fitzgerald's
translation of "The Odyssey," A classical muse appears, and the
young woman becomes the goddess Athena--a tireless advocate for
Odysseus in his struggle to get home. With her trademark irreverent
and witty twist on classic works, Zimmerman brings to life the
story of Odysseus's ten-year journey, depicting his encounters with
characters such as Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, Calypso, the
Sirens, and others.
