Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish the first ever audio edition of this classic work, the greatest of all epic poems.

Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger reaches the English-language listener in all its glory. In keeping with the oral tradition of the time, Dan Stevens, whose many celebrated performances include Downton Abbey's Matthew Crawley, makes this epic tale come alive. The listener becomes totally immersed in the adventure and drama of the story this is the way The Odyssey was meant to be experienced.
