The Odyssey Audiobook (free download)

"The Odyssey" is the greatest adventure story ever written, and one of the great epic masterpieces of Western literature For almost 3,000 years, it has been a storehouse of ancient Greek folklore and myth. It is also our very first novel, if we think of it in terms of romantic plot development, realistic characterizations, frequent change of scene, and heroic dramatic devices. These elements continue to make it far more popular than its kindred piece, "The Iliad". No other character in world literature has inspired as many literary works as Odysseus ("Ulysses" in Latin).
