Odysseus enters the palace of King Alcinous and Queen Arete and goes straight for the knees! He tells them how he came to their island...kinda. Spoiler alert: Odysseus kinda lies. Join us as we discuss why this might be.

It's time to meet the man, the myth, the legend...Odysseus! But what do we find? Not exactly what we expected. Our Greek hero has some major character flaws. Join us as we discuss this first look at the man of many ways. Is his crying genuine or an act? Why has he been on Calypso's island so long when he says he misses Penelope so much?
