A striking reinterpretation of Homer’s legendary epic!
For twenty years now, Penelope has waited every day for Ulysses to return. Waiting is what Calypso is about to endure as she lets him leave to rejoin his beloved. Circe the sorceress, however, refuses to let him go, for fear that it will kill her. Throughout his journey, a chorus of women—mother, lover, and wife—recounts an Odyssey on a human scale. In a world where time passes too quickly, isn’t the return already too late from the very start? A contemporary and captivating take on one of the most iconic works of Western literature.
