The Odyssey · The Wrong Shore · 3 Hour Sleep Story

Welcome to The Sleeping Almanac. Tonight we open Season Four, the Odyssey, at the very beginning of the road to Troy. Long before the wooden horse, before the ten long years, a thousand ships put out to sea for the first time and made land on the wrong shore. This is the story of the false start, the wounded king, and the strange oracle that said the one who dealt the wound was the only one who could heal it. A slow, gentle telling for sleep, calm enough to drift to and rich enough to stay awake for if you choose.Close your eyes. Let the fire on the beach burn low. There is nothing to do now but listen and rest.CHAPTERS0:00 Welcome and the Singer at the Fire4:44 Chapter One: The Morning After the Dawn12:34 Chapter Two: The Sea Without Signposts19:15 Chapter Three: The Landfall That Lied25:15 Chapter Four: The King of the Wrong Country35:04 Chapter Five: The Spear and the Wound42:09 Chapter Six: The Scattering48:36 Chapter Seven: The Years Between55:53 Chapter Eight: The Wound That Would Not Close1:03:45 Chapter Nine: The Beggar at the Door of the Kings1:15:07 Chapter Ten: The Rust of the Spear1:24:18 Chapter Eleven: The Guide Who Knew the Water1:34:07 Chapter Twelve: Goodnight and the Road Found at LastWatch the illustrated version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gAJ0kDVRpL8New episodes every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.🎙️ Sleep stories from history, Kingdoms at Dusk: https://kingdomsatdusk.com📖 All our worlds: https://gildenmyth.com🕊️ Goddess sleep meditations, The Tender Hour: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTenderHourChannel🌙 Join the almanac, first looks and the occasional quiet letter: https://gildenmyth.comThis show uses AI tools (research, narration, visuals) under human editorial direction.
