“Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy.”
Homer’s epic is the definitive sea saga, reiterated and re-interpreted in every conceivable way, from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” to Joyce’s Ulysses to O Brother, Where Art Thou? Its theme of returning home, as spouse, as hero, after the defeat of monsters, is just as contemporary as it is ancient.
Sail to the Mediterranean realms Homer used as a map of the Greek mind: from the crucible of Troy to the Palace of Nestor, where Telemachus sought word of his father; Malta, the seductive isle of Calypso; Sicily of the Laestrygonians; the Phlegrean Fields of the Cyclops; Taormina, home to the Oxen of the Sun; and finally, Ithaca: home to Penelope, and the marriage bed that grows from the ancestral tree.
