About this listen

 Armand and Jimmy set sail through the timeless tale of The Odyssey, Homer’s epic poem that follows the long and perilous journey of Odysseus as he fights monsters, resists temptresses, and outwits gods to return home. Along the way, they uncover the story’s deep emotional core — Penelope’s cleverness, Telemachus’ coming of age, and Odysseus’ own struggle between glory and homecoming. From the Cyclops’ cave to the bow-stringing, bloody showdown, discover how and why The Odyssey continues to inspire creators like Ralph Fiennes (The Return) and Christopher Nolan (in his upcoming adaptation), and why it still resonates with us today.

Thank you to Alex Horne for suggesting this week's topic and our main text explored: The Odyssey by Homer
