Book summary

After the Trojan War, Odysseus wants to return home to his island of Ithaca. But it will take him ten years of wandering: he faces the Cyclops, escapes the song of the Sirens and resists the charms of the enchantress Circe. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope fends off the suitors who have overrun her palace.

It is the greatest adventure in literature, so much so that its title has become a word: an odyssey.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read this great tale in the language you are learning.

The plot

兩大險境之間的海峽。奧德修斯和水手們來到兩塊礁石之間的一道狹窄海峽。一塊礁石下有個漩渦,每天三次吞沒海水。另一塊礁石裡藏著斯庫拉,一個長脖子怪物,會抓走路過的水手。奧德修斯怕手下不敢再划槳,沒有把怪物的事告訴他們。

The world of the book

大海、島嶼與眾神的世界。故事發生在傳說中的希臘。人們乘著有槳有帆的長船,從一座島航行到另一座島。眾神插手凡人的生活:海神波賽頓怨恨奧德修斯,智慧女神雅典娜則護佑著他。
