    About this ebook

    After ten years at war, Odysseus returns to Ithaca to find his palace in the hands of violent men. These mortal enemies are overcome but the ghosts of war are not so easily vanquished.

    Drawing on the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer, and loosely following the model of classical Greek drama, Peter Oswald explores the personal journey behind the fantastic one, and asks what it means to be a hero.
