Description

It’s been twenty years since Odysseus left Ithaca. With a palace full of murderous suitors demanding Penelope choose a new husband, a beggar arrives with a story for the queen—fantastic yarns of her husband’s travels through monsters, witches and gods. Every bit Odysseus’ equal in will and duplicity, Penelope takes on the suitors and conniving beggar in a magical re-telling of Homer’s epic tale of adventure, vengeance and passion.
