Book 10: Winds, Beasts, and Enchantments

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Still recounting his adventures to King Alcinous and the Phaeacian nobles, Odysseus describes a journey that grows ever stranger and more dangerous. A gift of winds turns to disaster, cannibal giants destroy most of his fleet, and the sorceress Circe transforms his men into pigs. With help from the gods and his own cunning, Odysseus survives, but the price of continuing home grows steeper: before reaching Ithaca, he must travel to the land of the dead.In this episode, we see loyalty tested, magic confronted, and Odysseus’s unbreakable drive to return to his family—no matter the cost.History in Decades Podcast 🎙️Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/history-in-decades/id6787817486Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/033KxttVEXOhbgmX2waVTQ?si=59735bc0da9d466d
