This is a story about a time of myths and legends, when great heroes accomplished equally great feats, and the gods were vengeful and cruel.

The bloody Trojan War has ended. The ancient city of Priam, Hector, and Paris lies in ruins, and Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sets out on his return journey with his warriors. Finding himself on an island inhabited by the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of the sea god Poseidon, the cunning Greek, in his quest to escape, stole the monster's only eye. A devastating storm, unleashed by the enraged Olympian, casts Odysseus's ship adrift on distant shores. Thus begins the King of Ithaca's journey, full of trials and obstacles, which will last ten long years...

This book presents Homer's famous poem in a version as close as possible to the original source, written by the renowned Russian writer, translator, and literary scholar Vikenty Veresaev. The deluxe edition is accompanied by colorful illustrations by American artist Newell Wyeth and a detailed map reflecting the supposed route of Odysseus's travels.
