About This Book

Un poème épique raconte le long et dangereux retour d'un héros rusé vers son île après la guerre, retraçant ses errances en mer, ses rencontres avec créatures, dieux et enchanteresses, et la perte progressive de ses compagnons. Pendant ce temps, sa famille à la maison endure les prétendants qui gaspillent son patrimoine, et son fils mûrit pour réclamer son héritage. Le récit mêle épisodes d'aventure, scènes d'hospitalité et consultations divines, et explore les thèmes de la ruse, de l'identité, de la loyauté, de la justice et du désir de retrouver le foyer.
