full cast
In a 20-year journey, fabulous fantasy mixes with extraordinary reality as Odysseus encounters enchantresses, nymphs, monsters, prophets, and ghosts. From the temptations of the lotus flowers and the Sirens' song to the horrors of the Cyclops' cave and the Land of the Dead, the story of his encounters is riveting. We hear of Circe, who turned his men into swine; Calypso, who held Odysseus prisoner for seven years; and the dreadful six-headed monster Scylla who devoured some of his crew. And we hear of the Gods, who have a vital role to play...
Dramatised by major contemporary poet Simon Armitage to celebrate the return of the Olympics to Athens, this full-cast production brings Odysseus's adventures to vivid life, conveying all the excitement, suspense, and poetry of the original. A stunning aural rollercoaster ride, The Odyssey will have your heart in your mouth and stir your soul.

What made the experience of listening to The Odyssey (Dramatized) the most enjoyable?
The vast range of voices used for the characters and the many different sound effects.Who was your favorite character and why?
Odysseus, because he is who the story is focused around. With out him there is no Odyssey.Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No but I am more than willing to try anything BBC puts out now.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me appreciate Homer even more. His stories are timeless and forever will be timeless.Any additional comments?
If you like Greek mythology or Homer you need to listen to this, just don't use it as your main source of the Odyssey as there are missing or very briefly touched upon points in the story. Also a lot of the dialog is different, its slightly more modern.Sing in me, Muse, and through me review
