When I first stumbled upon The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal I was curious but the intro didn't really do it for me, still I gave it a few more pages to win me over and OH MY GOD DID IT EVER.

In the course of the poem, that man plots his return home after fighting the Trojan War, slaughters the suitors vying to marry his wife Penelope, and reestablishes himself as the head of his household.īut the Odyssey is also about other people: Penelope, the nymph Calypso, the witch Circe, the princess Nausicaa Odysseus’s many shipmates who died before they could make it home the countless slaves in Odysseus’s house, many of whom are never named.Įmily Wilson, the first woman to translate the Odyssey into English, is as concerned with these surrounding characters as she is with Odysseus himself.
