A dramatization for radio in eight one-hour episodes. "This is the story of a man, a hero, who inhabits three worlds: first of all, the world of his own reality--his wife, his son, his home; secondly, the world of myth in which gods and demigods sport and battle; and finally, the world of sorcerers and monsters, of magic and ghosts and unspeakable terrors. The exploration and interweaving of these three worlds contribute significantly to the delight that The Odyssey's audience has experienced throughout the ages"--Container.
