The Lazy Student's Guide to Homer's Odyssey is an easy to read synopsis that highlights the main characters, pertinent gods and goddesses, and the plot of this, almost 3000 years old Greek masterpiece. It chronicles the hero Odysseus's twenty year journey and quest to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, as gods and goddesses alike interfere with or intervene on his behalf. The numerous adventures, tragedies, and victories are explained in bloody detail from Odysseus's perspective. Helen's abduction or defection, (depending upon interpretation) Odysseus's seven year imprisonment with Calypso, the blinding and escape from the king of the Cyclopes, encounters with the witch Circe, Odysseus's descent into Hades to visit the ghost of his mother, the Sirens, the Wanderers, the whirlpool Charybdis, and the concluding bloody slaughter of the suitors are all summarized. Designed for the reluctant, lazy, or too often intoxicated student. This forty minute read may spare you embarrassment in the classroom or prepare you for the pseudo intellectual discussions of Greek mythology in the fraternity house, dorm, or random cocktail party.
