In which the wily Ulysses recounts the perilous tale of his departure from Troy, including the brutal sacking of the Cicones, the bewitching danger of the Lotus-eaters, and the harrowing encounter with the savage Cyclops who dwells in a solitary cave. With cunning and courage, he and his men face dark fates and divine wrath as they strive to return home through a world both strange and fearsome.

The Odyssey Book IX

Sing, O Muse, of the word that endures beyond bronze and flame. Here in The Homer Library, the ancient song rises anew, of swift-footed heroes and wine-dark seas, of towering walls and the wrath that shatters kings. Hear the clash of spear on shield, the lament of queens, the cunning of wanderers longing for hearth and homeland. As once the blind bard lifted his lyre among listening halls, so now the tale is carried upon living breath - faithful, unbroken, and whole. Each episode unfolds the sacred verses in their fullness, that glory may not fade and memory may not perish. Come, then. Sit among warriors and wanderers. And let the story be sung again.
