Before Ithaca, The Odyssey Story: A Modern Retelling of the Ancient Epic on Big Screens - Couverture souple
Synopsis
For more than two thousand years, The Odyssey has told the story of a man trying to get home.
But behind the Cyclops, the Sirens and the wrath of Poseidon is a far more human story—of a husband separated from his wife, a son searching for the father he barely remembers, and a kingdom slowly being taken apart while its king is gone.
BEFORE ITHACA retells Homer's ancient epic in clear, direct modern English.
The gods argue. Kings make mistakes. Men ignore warnings. Families grieve. Odysseus lies, fights, survives and keeps moving toward the one place he has not seen in twenty years: home.
Follow the complete journey from the troubled halls of Ithaca to Calypso's lonely island, through the cave of the Cyclops, the house of Circe, the kingdom of the dead, the song of the Sirens and the deadly waters of Scylla and Charybdis.
Then follow Odysseus home—where the most dangerous part of his journey is still waiting.
Written as a flowing prose narrative with living conversations and accessible language, BEFORE ITHACA is for readers who want to experience The Odyssey as a story rather than study it as an assignment.
No previous knowledge of Homer required.
A classic story of war, pride, temptation, loss, loyalty and the long road home.
Before Ithaca, Odysseus had to survive everything.
The emphasis on the father-son separation, Penelope's endurance, Odysseus's pride after the Cyclops, his descent among the dead, and the eventual recognition through the immovable marriage bed all come directly from the manuscript's narrative spine.
