Follow Odysseus after he leaves the fallen city of Troy and takes ten long dramatic years - battling monsters, the temptations of goddesses and suffering the curse of Poseidon - to voyage home to his wife Penelope on the island of Ithaca.

reviewed Odyssey by Stephen Fry (Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, #4)

Great, as expected

5 stars

Really enjoyed this, Fry's gift for narrative shines. He provides a bit of a catch up on the preceding books so there's no need to read those (though you should).

My biggest criticism is probably just that it flew by, and genuinely felt too short. Highlights for me were the cyclopes and the trial of Orestes.

More please.
