About this audiobook

Odysseus has spent seven years on Calypso's island, longing for home. In Book 5 the gods finally send a message: let him go. He builds a raft and sails, but Poseidon spots him and raises a storm that smashes it to pieces. Battered and alone, he washes ashore in an unknown land. In Book 6 the goddess Athena sends a dream to a young princess, Nausicaa, who goes down to the river with her maids to wash the family's clothes. There she finds a stranger asleep in the bushes. Homer's Odyssey, Books 5 and 6, read by William Johnston in under an hour. A good place to start the poem, or to pick it up again.
