The Odyssey
by Homer
About this book
Ithaca and the long way home, where a household is eating itself alive waiting for a king the world has given up for dead — and the ragged beggar at the door is the only one who knows how this ends. Seven ways in, from the suitors' feast in a hall that isn't theirs to the silence after the great bow is finally strung.
