HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Alas that mortals Should blame the gods! From
us, they say, All evils come. Yet they themselves It is who through
defiant deeds Bring sorrow on them-far more sorrow Than fate would
have them bear.' Attributed to the blind Greek poet, Homer, The
Odyssey is an epic tale about cunning and strength of mind. It
takes its starting point ten years after the fall of the city of
Troy and follows its Greek warrior hero Odysseus as he tries to
journey to his home of Ithaca in northwest Greece after the Greek
victory over the Trojans. On his travels, Odysseus comes across
surreal islands and foreign lands where he is in turn challenged
and supported by those that he meets on his travels as he attempts
to find his way back home in order to vanquish those who threaten
his estate. In turn, his son Telemachus has to grow up quickly as
he attempts to find his father and protect his mother from her
suitors. Dealing with the universal themes of temptation and
courage, the epic journey that Odysseus undertakes is as meaningful
today as it was almost 3,000 years ago when the story was composed.
