The Odyssey Of Homer Audiobook (Free)

When this groundbreaking serialized dramatization premiered on radio, critics were unanimous within their praise, calling it “a feast for the ears” and “a magnificent blend of scholarship and showmanship.” It won numerous honors, including the George Foster Peabody Award, the Pulitzer Prize of broadcasting. Right now, more than twenty years after its initial airing, Blackstone Sound is pleased to present this outstanding production, dramatized here with intermittent discussions by traditional scholars.

The ancient poem tells of a man, a hero of cunning rather than brawn, who inhabits three worlds: the world of his own reality, the world of the gods and demigods, as well as the world of magic and monsters. The interweaving of these three worlds contributes significantly to the joy the Odyssey has inspired throughout the age range.
