It is a journey guided by a restless rebel who refuses to treat myths as fairy tales or dusty academic notes. Instead, he searches for the allegories behind the verses of Homer, Hesiod, and the tragic poets, without ever destroying the magic of the plot. Here, Odysseus is more than a wanderer: he is exile and identity. Achilles’s rage is pride and blindness. The gods of Hesiod are chaos and order, creation and destruction...
