The poem of Odysseus / D.S. Carne-Ross

Map of Homer's world

The Odyssey. A goddess intervenes

A hero's son awakens

The lord of the Western approaches

The red-haired King and his lady

Sweet nymph and open sea

The princess at the river

Gardens and firelight

The songs of the Harper

New coasts and Poseidon's son

The grace of the witch

A gathering of shades

Sea perils and defeat

One more strange island

Hospitality in the forest

How they came to Ithaka

Father and son

The beggar at the manor

Blows and a Queen's beauty

Recognitions and a dream

Signs and a vision

The test of the bow

Death in the Great Hall

The trunk of the olive tree

Warriors, farewell

Homer: Odyssey. Athena inspires the prince

Odysseus

Nymph and shipwreck

The princess and the stranger

Phaeacia's halls and gardens

A day for songs and contests

In the one-eyed giant's cave

The bewitching queen of Aeaea

The kingdom of the dead

The cattle of the sun

Ithaca at last

The loyal swineherd

The prince sets sail for home

Father and son

Stranger at the gates

The beggar-king of Ithaca

Penelope and her guest

Portents gather

Odysseus strings his bow

Slaughter in the hall

The great rooted bed

Peace
