Sometimes the hardest journey is the way back home . . .
Wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, has won Troy for the Greeks – after a
decade of brutal, bloody warfare. But now this warrior remembers he is
a husband and father – and his gaze turns longingly towards home.
Setting sail with a small fleet, Odysseus dreams of soon lying in the
arms of his beloved wife Penelope, and of teaching his son Telemachus
the ways of a warrior. However, the gods laugh at the foolish hopes of
mortals. And, angered by this upstart, Poseidon – God of the ocean
realms – curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.
Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms,
titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous
goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man’s endurance.
Yet he is no mere mortal – and the lure of his wife and son draws him,
step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his ultimate
destiny . . .
A tale of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope,
Stephen Fry’s Odyssey sees the author and national treasure weave the
final threads of the fabulous story begun in the worldwide bestseller,
Mythos, into an astonishing and mesmerising tapestry for the ages.
