Before there was fantasy, there was The Odyssey.
After the fall of Troy, the cunning hero Odysseus is cast into a brutal, decade-long struggle against gods, monsters, and fate itself. He outwits the Cyclops, resists the enchantress Circe, sails past the Sirens, and survives the wrath of Poseidon--all while longing for home. Back in Ithaca, his wife Penelope fends off ruthless suitors devouring his kingdom. Disguised and broken, Odysseus returns not as a king, but as a ghost of war--rising again to reclaim his throne through sheer will. The epic is attributed to Homer, a legendary ancient Greek poet believed to have lived around the 8th century BCE. Though little is known about him, his works, The Odyssey and The Iliad, became the foundation of Western storytelling--timeless tales of heroism, fate, and the cost of war. In this special Gungnir Edition, enjoy the book with it's custom sprayed edges and artwork by Patricia Martin.Homer is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets.
