The extraordinary story of a legendary hero continues ...

After ten years of uninterrupted war, blood and agony, the Trojans have finally been defeated. Odysseus and his men begin the epic journey to return to Ithaca. Along the way, terrifying enemies await them: the cyclops Polyphemus, the lotus eaters, who feast on narcotic flowers that give only oblivion, the sorceress who turns men into swine, and the deadly, enthralling sirens.

In this stunning new novel, Valerio Massimo Manfredi gives a new voice to one of the most adventurous and fascinating heroes of all time.
