Odysseus, however, sailing for Ithaca, longs to hold in his arms his beloved Penelope and Telemachus, his only son. But the gods mock mortals, even if they are heroes. Enraged by his arrogance, Poseidon condemns him to wander the seas for a full ten years.

Fry's Odyssey retells, with vividness, insight, and humor, the Homeric epic, the most famous heroic story of all time. A story of hope, love, and nostalgia, of return and redemption. A story for all generations, for every age, for every era.
