A Classic
A great way to get to know this classic, Anton Lesser is excellent as narrator and the story is thrilling. Phrases such as 'Wine dark sea' and 'His words had wings' are set into context and the actions of the Gods are brought to life in this vivid retelling of The Odyssey. This is a classic in every sense of the word.

A real pleasure
Iv'e always loved the stories that make up the Odyssey to the extent that I took a course on it once. The four stars for overall are down to the translation. I prefer the Fagles version, as it has more flow with the the poetry. However, as ever, Lesser brings depth, gravitas and drama to the storytelling and that's what its all about, one of the greatest oral stories ever, of such massive influence over Western culture and beyond. A real pleasure.
