Odysseus by Charles Rowan Beye
Everyone knows something about Odysseus: how he defeated the Trojans in a surprise attack with a massive wooden horse, wandered the Mediterranean seas for years trying to get home and confronted the Cyclop. Odysseus turns up everywhere from Homer's original epics, Tennyson's poem Ulysses' and Joyce's literary masterpiece of the same name, to the recent Coen brothers film O Brother Where Art Thou, which was based on his adventures. But no one has until now chronicled Odysseus's life from start to finish. In this entertaining 'biography', Beye does just that.'Charles Rowan Beye is a City University of New York Distinguished Professor of Classics Emeritus who has also taught at Boston University, Stanford University, and Yale University. He splits his time between Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York City, and is the author of numerous books and essays on the classics (especially Homer and epic poetry).
