Synopsis

Brimming with Greek mythology and folklore, this ancient Greek poem follows a two-part narrative. The first half centres on Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he faces mythical creatures, defies gods, and endures an epic journey in his attempt to return home.

The second half shifts back to Ithaca, where further dangers await and Penelope’s role comes into focus as a devoted wife and a clever, often-overlooked heroine. Both characters are portrayed as relying on wit, courage, and determination as they seek to reunite their family and reclaim their kingdom, making this edition suited to students, teachers, and booklovers.
