You Are Odysseus: a retelling of the Odyssey where YOU are the hero

Tell me, O Listener, of that resourceful man...

Homer's Odyssey as a second-person narrative - an interactive epic.

Can you make the same choices as Odysseus? Should you?

Listen and become Odysseus, the many-minded man, the most famous adventure hero of all time. Enjoy this second-person retelling of Homer's Odyssey with a fully atmospheric audio backdrop, hear Odysseus' options at each story juncture, and see if you can make the same choices - based on the hero's own in the original epic.

From the teacher (and illustrator) behind GreekMythComix comes this beautiful retelling, featuring characterisations, literary features, scenarios and episodes directly from and inspired by translations of the original poem, from Troy to Ithaca. This audiobook podcast features the main Odyssey storyline from the interactive novel YOU ARE ODYSSEUS, in which you can read the story as your version of Odysseus, making the choices you think he should make, and seeing the outcome - original, alternative story elements based on suggestions from the original poem, the Epic Cycle, ancient authors and playwrights, and sparkling with additions from Ancient Greek mythology - https://laurajenkinsonbrown.co.uk/publications/you-are-odysseus/

How does an interactive audiobook work?

This audiobook version of YOU ARE ODYSSEUS will follow the main Odyssey storyline featured in the book, narrated by the author against an immersive soundscape of monsters, gods, and exciting locations. Each time Odysseus has a choice to make, you will hear the opportunities available, have a moment to think what you would do, and then be whisked back to the story and Odysseus’ original decision. Will you empathise with the choices he makes, or will you be shocked at the outcomes he chases? Either way, you will understand Homer’s eponymous character better.
