Tonight, I will tell you the story of the Odyssey, and as in previous mythology videos, I will discuss a few historical and literary aspects. If you want to know about the lotus-eaters, the cyclops, the sirens, Aeolus, Circe, Scylla and Charybdis, Calypso, and many more things, relax and enjoy the long journey Odysseus will have to endure to be reunited with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus.
