Episode 11: The Odyssey, Part 1 – Nobody Was His Name

The Odyssey is very different from The Iliad - so different that some people thought it was actually written by a woman. This week, Rose walks you through the plot of the second great work of European literature, and recommends editions to try reading yourself. (You can also search for an audiobook version narrated by Sir Ian McKellan!) As always, a transcript of this episode is available at our website, booksofalltime.co.uk, here.
