By now those of you who follow me should be well acquainted with my love of ancient myths and stories, so for your listening pleasure today, I bring you another of the classics: an abridgement of Book 9 of Homer's Odyssey (text by Joel Skidmore), concerning the wayward king Odysseus and his run-in with Polyphemus the cyclops, the double-violation of the rules of hospitality on both sides, and the triumph of wit and planning versus size and strength. Enjoy!
