The Odyssey: "Ain’t Nothing Odd About the Odyssey"

Arkadia Edu.Song #76001
$15.98 cassette & dual study guide

"Gather ’round Greeks... Got a tale to tell." Thus begins Lee Kweller’s unique synopsis of Homer’s Odyssey. Together with the study guide enclosed within, "Ain’t Nothing Odd About the Odyssey" is designed for use in classrooms and homes wherever anyone is wrestling with the exciting, but often difficult, passages from this classic text.

The Odyssey, one of the great adventure stories of all time, is the tale of a man named Odysseus, who may or may not have lived in ancient Greece some 3500 years ago. Cunning, fearless, determined and a favorite of the goddess Athena, Odysseus manages to overcome a series of unbelievably imposing obstacles — one-eyed monsters, witch’s spells, and six-headed beasts, to name a few — that stand between him and a happy reunion with his wife. Written by the poet Homer, whose life is also the stuff of legend — he was said to have been blind and to have composed the epic poem in his head — the Odyssey was designed to be put to music and be sung by traveling performers
