BEFORE THE SCREEN. AFTER THE SCREEN. BEYOND THE SCREEN.

Prepare for the journey before you see it. Understand it more deeply after you leave the cinema. Or discover why Homer still speaks to us nearly three thousand years later.

Whether you are arriving through cinema, returning to Homer, or meeting Odysseus for the first time, The Odyssey for the Modern Mind takes you beyond the adventure and into the ideas that made it immortal.

THE MONSTERS WERE NEVER THE POINT.

Nearly three thousand years ago, Homer gave us a hero who could survive almost anything except the question of who he would be when he returned home.

Why does Odysseus still feel so familiar? Why do the Lotus Eaters, the Cyclops, Circe and the Sirens continue to speak to lives shaped by distraction, ambition, uncertainty and desire?

The book begins with a clear narrative guide to the complete journey across all twenty four books of Homer's epic. It then enters Homer's world through ancient history, archaeology, mythology, psychology, philosophy, leadership and cinema. It separates Homer's poem from later tradition, examines what the epic may have meant to its earliest audiences and uncovers the human questions hidden inside its most famous adventures.
