Odyssey

by Stephen Fry

Troy has fallen. After 10 years of war, the Greeks make their way back to their own lands - but what homes now await them? Agamemnon must return to his wife Clytemnestra, who has been nursing her rage since he sacrificed their daughter to the gods for a favourable wind. Her revenge will know no bounds.

Meanwhile, Odysseus has angered the god Poseidon and he is cursed to wander the seas, facing angry monsters and possessive demi-gods as he attempts to return to Ithaca and his patient, clever wife Penelope.

From my blog

I’ve integrated the new books feature Manton launched at the end of August into my blog, so now the book details pages feel part of my blog. I may revise the design a little in the future but I’m happy with how it works right now. If I’ve posted about the book the details page also displays those posts as well.

Finished reading: Odyssey by Stephen Fry šŸ“š

Very enjoyable. I wish I had been able to read it all before I saw the new film, but even so, it is worth a read afterwards.
