This dramatic adaptation of Homer's epic poem 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, Mary 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. Suitable for ages 12 and up.
