When NPR contributor Scott Huler made one more attempt to get through James Joyce’s Ulysses, he had no idea it would launch an obsession with the book’s inspiration: the ancient Greek epic The Odyssey and the lonely homebound journey of its Everyman hero, Odysseus. No-Man’s Lands is Huler’s funny and touching exploration of the life lessons embedded within The Odyssey, a legendary tale of wandering and longing that could be read as a veritable guidebook for middle-aged men everywhere. At age forty-four, with his first child on the way, Huler felt an instant bond with Odysseus, who fought for some twenty years against formidable difficulties to return home to his beloved wife and son. In reading The Odyssey, Huler saw the chance to experience a great vicarious adventure as well as the opportunity to assess the man he had become and embrace the imminent arrival of both middle age and parenthood. But Huler realized that it wasn’t enough to simply read the words on the page—he needed to live Odysseus’s odyssey, to visit the exotic destinations that make Homer’s story so timeless. And so an ambitious pilgrimage was born . . . traveling the entire length of Odysseus’s two-decade journey. In six months. Huler doggedly retraced Odysseus’s every step, from the ancient ruins of Troy to his ultimate destination in Ithaca. On the way, he discovers the Cyclops’s Sicilian cave, visits the land of the dead in Italy, ponders the lotus from a Tunisian resort, and paddles a rented kayak between Scylla and Charybdis and lives to tell the tale. He writes of how and why the lessons of The Odyssey—the perils of ambition, the emptiness of glory, the value of love and family—continue to resonate so deeply with readers thousands of years later. And as he finally closes in on Odysseus’s final destination, he learns to fully appreciate what Homer has been saying all along: the greatest adventures of all are the ones that bring us home to those we love. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part critical reading of the greatest adventure epic ever written, No-Man’s Lands is an extraordinary description of two journeys—one ancient, one contemporary—and reveals what The Odyssey can teach us about being better bosses, better teachers, better parents, and better people.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ODYSSEUS!ATTENTION READERS: If you're searching for a book to explain the most important aspects of Odysseus' journey AND THE MEANING BEHIND IT, this is the book for you!BUT FIRST A WARNING...This book is PACKED with page-turning information. So if you love Greek myths, you may not be able to put it down.When you buy this book, you'll learn the following:- Definition and history of the Monomyth- The three-act structure of the Hero's Journey- The key plot points of the Iliad and Odyssey- What makes a hero- Odysseus' character arc- The overarching themes of the myth- The classic stages of Odysseus journey and their meaning....AND SO MUCH MORE!Below is just a taste of what you'll learn when you buy this book: This book covers Odysseus' journey through the lens of the Monomyth. By analyzing the Iliad and the Odyssey Josh Coker identifies each classic stages of the Hero's Journey.What is the Monomyth?The term "Monomyth" comes from the Greek. It is broken into two root words: 1) mono, meaning "one", and 2) mythos, meaning "story." The connotation being, the "One Story." This term was coined by author James Joyce in his most famous work, Ulysses (the Roman name for Odysseus). However, it wasn't popularized until the late 1940's when a comparative mythologist by the name of Joseph Campbell, published his seminal work, The Hero With A Thousand Faces. In his book, Campbell suggested that there are common aspects that nearly all myths throughout time have shared. These elements combine into a narrative format that can be used as an approach to mythology. Many people associate the "Hero's Journey" as synonymous with The Monomyth. Both, historical and modern storytellers have used it as an approach to analyze narratives and develop new plots and characters for contemporary audiences. According to Campbell, the Monomyth follows a three-act structure. In the first act, The Separation, a hero is called to adventure and leaves his known world for the unknown world, guided by a mentor. Once the hero crosses the threshold of adventure, they enter the second act, The Initiation. In this section, the hero faces many tests and trials, confronts his inner demons (many times represented as ghosts, monsters, minotaurs, or dragons), then goes on through stages of enlightenment. Once the hero retrieves the boon, he must return it to the normal world from which he came. This third act is called the Return. During this final section of the narrative, the hero must release the power of the boon into society in order to restore it. Many times this last act requires the hero to overcome his major flaw and make a sacrifice. Once restored, the hero and those citizens in the world are free once again to live in it. The story of Odysseus follows this format very close. Particularly, if we combine the events from the Iliad and the Odyssey we obtain a full picture of Odysseus' journey of kingship. When you buy this book you'll learn the definition and history of the Monomyth; the three-act structure of the Hero's Journey; and the key plot points of the Iliad and Odyssey. Plus you'll find out what makes Odysseus a hero and how his character arc plays out in relation to overarching themes of the myth. Not to mention, we'll analyze the classic stages of Odysseus journey and their meaning. PLUS SO MUCH MORE!This book makes a great companion guide for anyone wishing to learn the about the Hero's Journey or Odysseus' adventures.But don't take our word for it.

From two acclaimed British comedians, a humorous reimagining of the Odyssey for young readers. It has taken ten long years to win the Trojan War and now, Odysseus, the victorious leader, wants nothing more than to return home to his wife and son. What he doesn’t know is that the journey ahead will take another ten years—and the journey through Hell is only the beginning . . . Odysseus: The Journey through Hell is the second in an outrageously witty three book Greek myth series, which also includes Odysseus: The Greatest Hero of Them All and Theseus: The King Who Killed the Minotaur.

Travels with Odysseus retells the earthy and profound adventures of the Greek hero Odysseus as teaching stories which hold insight and guidance for our own present day journey. On his winding odyssey, Odysseus meets magical and powerful beings, who are not shy about meddling in his affairs. Some see him for who he really is and help him; they bring him wisdom and attainment, and unlock creative possibilities. Others, aggravating and difficult strangers, try to do him in: Odysseus gets sidetracked, enchanted, waylaid. Some truths he learns easily and others he resists. In all of this, Odysseus is not so different than the rest of us.
