0:00 Liv Albert? Hey nerds, really quick note from me. I want to tell you that we now have the applications open for the next set of listener group trips. This is us going back to the original, the trips that we have held in the past that have been so much fun, so successful, and pretty affordable in terms of wandering around Greece with a bunch of nerds. So check out the details and get your applications in at mythsbaby.com/groups.
0:36 Liv Albert? The story begins.
0:42 Liv Albert? Oh, yous, tell us the story of clever, complicated Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who fought for Greece in the Trojan War. Finally, after 10 years, the victorious Greeks burned the city of Troy to ashes. But on his journey home, Odysseus would face far greater dangers and suffer even more than in that long, hard war.
1:18 Liv Albert? Chyadate, that's hello in ancient Greek. My name is Liv and I love Greek mythology. But most of all, I love Homer's Greek mythology. When I was a kid, the Odyssey was one of the first myths I fell in love with. It had everything: danger, bravery, monsters and witches, goddesses and gods, man-eating giants, conversations with ghosts, and a serious amount of wacky, wild, and bloodthirsty drama.
1:50 Liv Albert? But the more I learned about the Odyssey and Homer, the more I learned to love them for other weirder reasons. The Odyssey is messy and confusing, and that's exactly what makes it so exciting. Odysseus isn't the kind of hero we're used to. He's not out to sacrifice himself to save the world, his crew, or even his own family. The word "hero" comes from Ancient Greek, but 3,000 years ago, heroism didn't mean always being a good person. A hero was famous for adventure, battles, and fighting monsters, usually with a god's help. Odysseus is fun and interesting because sometimes he does great things that today
2:34 Liv Albert? we would call heroic, and at other times, he does terrible, violent things. Odysseus also tells lies, a lot. In fact, he tells so many lies that he was famous throughout Ancient Greece for being clever, creative, and the most talented liar of all time.
2:56 Liv Albert? This mix of good and bad, weird and wonderful, funny and sad, truth and lies, is what makes the Odyssey so brilliant. Homer doesn't tell you what to think about Odysseus. He doesn't try to convince you that this is a really nice guy who had some bad luck and wants to get home to his family. Instead, Homer tells you all the things Odysseus actually did, as well as all the things he "claims" he did, and then lets you decide what you think of him. Usually, the adults who write kids' versions of the Odyssey try to make it easier to
3:37 Liv Albert? understand by changing the order of the story and by ignoring many of the bad things Odysseus does, and the stories and lies he tells along the way. Not me. I'm not going to give you a sugar-coated version of Odysseus's exploits. I think you can handle the real story, just as Homer told it to the Ancient Greeks around 3,000 years ago, except much, much shorter.
4:09 Liv Albert? The people who first enjoyed The Odyssey didn't see Odysseus as some kind of shiny superhero. Yes, Odysseus loved his family and his island kingdom, but he also loved adventure, riches, thinking up clever schemes, and above all, telling really long, detailed lies. My version of The Odyssey is an epic story of survival, families, perseverance, and deception, as well as a whole heap of mayhem, mischief, monsters, and meddling gods.
4:47 Liv Albert? I hope that when you finish this book, you're as desperate as I still am for more Greek mythology. Live.
5:00 Liv Albert? Episode 5: Poseidon's Curse. Swooping out of the clouds, the god Hermes skimmed over the ocean waves like a seabird, down to Calypso's beautiful island. He found the goddess in her cozy cave. "Hermes, old friend, what brings you to my home?" she asked, looking up from her weaving. "There's a warrior stranded here, a man whose shipmates all died on the journey home from Troy," said Hermes. "Zeus commands you to send him home. It's not his fate to die here."
5:41 Liv Albert? "I can't believe this," Calypso exclaimed. "Zeus almost killed Odysseus. I'm the one who saved him. He's been with me for seven years, and now the king of the gods suddenly decides he has to leave?"
5:57 Liv Albert? Hermes shrugged. "They're Zeus's orders, not mine." Calypso rolled her eyes. "Then there's no point in arguing," she said. "Odysseus can go." "Send him on his way now, so you don't anger Zeus," Hermes instructed. And with that, he disappeared.
6:18 Liv Albert? Calypso found Odysseus in his usual place, sitting by the sea with tears in his eyes. "You can stop crying, Odysseus," she said. "You're free to leave." "This is a trick, surely," said Odysseus doubtfully. "And even if it's not, do you want me to die at sea? How am I supposed to cross that vast ocean?" Calypso smiled. "I understand why you are suspicious, but I swear I'm not trying to hurt you. It won't be easy, but if you really want to go home so badly, I'll help however I can."
6:57 Liv Albert? Odysseus sighed. "I do want to go home, more than anything."
7:04 Liv Albert? The next day, Calypso gave Odysseus an axe so he could cut down trees to build a raft. Then she handed him a large piece of fabric. "Here, this is yours. I've been working on it for years," she said. "Thank you," Calypso, Odysseus said. "This will make a perfect sail for my raft." After four days, the raft was ready and Calypso gave him fresh clothes for the voyage. Waving sadly, the goddess watched as Odysseus sailed into the distance. But a few days after he set sail, Odysseus's little raft was spotted by Poseidon, fearsome god of the sea.
7:48 Liv Albert? "Is that who I think it is?" growled the god. "That cursed mortal won't get far, not if I can help it." Years earlier, Odysseus had angered Poseidon and the god had issued a curse that Odysseus would never be allowed to reach home safely. With his trident in hand, the sea god stirred up the clouds above and the seas below. In seconds, the sky grew dark with storm clouds and the waves began to surge. A huge wave crashed over Odysseus and his raft. Then a mighty gust of wind snapped the mast in half and threw Odysseus into the churning waters.
8:37 Liv Albert? I should have known it was too good to be true, groaned Odysseus. My suffering has only just begun. Odysseus would have drowned then and there in the raging seas, but suddenly, a sea goddess called Ino rose above the waves. You poor man, she said, why does Poseidon hate you so much? Take off those heavy clothes, they're dragging you down. She handed Odysseus her scarf. Tie this around yourself and you'll be saved. Don't forget to give it back when you reach safety. Then the goddess sank back under the dark water.
9:18 Liv Albert? Odysseus clung to his broken raft as the waves slowly became calmer. For two days and nights, he floated aimlessly in the water. Finally, Odysseus yelled with relief as he spotted land in the distance. He swam as hard as he could for the shore, then scrambled out of the water, gasping for air. I made it, thank the gods.
9:47 Liv Albert? After throwing Ino's scarf back into the sea with a word of sincere thanks, he crawled under a nearby bush and fell fast asleep. Odysseus woke later to the sound of laughter and voices. A group of girls were doing laundry and playing with a ball. He leapt up and then, realizing he was naked, dodged back behind the bush.
10:14 Liv Albert? Who are you? asked the group's leader. Lady, forgive me for startling you, said Odysseus, but please, take pity on me, I'm desperate. Odysseus told her all about the storm that had wrecked his raft. The girl smiled kindly. It sounds as if you've been through a lot, but you're in the land of the Phaeacians now, where we welcome strangers as honored guests. Of course, we'll help you.
10:45 Liv Albert? The Phaeacians. The island of Skyria was home to the mythical Phaeacians, whose ships were so fast, they seemed to fly. The Phaeacians were very rich, and their palace shone like the sun. The palace was guarded by mechanical dogs made of silver and gold, which had been built by Hephaestus, the blacksmith god.
11:13 Liv Albert? Episode 6: An Honored Guest.
11:17 Liv Albert? The kind girl who helped Odysseus was named Nausicaa. "The gods obviously wanted you to come here," she told Odysseus. "My parents, the king and queen, will be happy to welcome you to our palace." The pair didn't know that Athena was watching over them. In fact, she had made their meeting happen. She gave Nausicaa the idea of going down to the stream, so that she would find Odysseus. And the goddess also washed away the signs of Odysseus's hunger and exhaustion, making him look strong and handsome again. When Odysseus stood before the Phaeacian king and queen, he followed Nausicaa's advice to focus his words on her mother.
12:00 Liv Albert? "Conning queen Arete, I beg you to help me," he began. "I've spent years trying to get home to my family. I miss them so much, it hurts." The queen looked Odysseus up and down. "Stranger, please tell us where are you from, and how you ended up on our island?" she asked him. Thinking quickly, Odysseus told them about his years on Calypso's island, and how, when he left, Poseidon had sent a terrible storm. Odysseus described how his raft was lost, and he washed up on their shores. But he didn't mention his name, or where he came from.
12:41 Liv Albert? "You've suffered so much," said the queen sympathetically. "Rest here tonight. We are the best shipbuilders and sailors, and I promise we'll help you. You'll be home before you know it."
12:56 Liv Albert? In the morning, the Phaeacians began preparing a ship to take Odysseus home. King Alcanus called the men of his city together. "In honor of our guest, let us hold a contest," he declared. "Then, when he reaches his home, he can tell everyone that we Phaeacians are the best at athletic games." The crowd cheered, and every man young enough to compete gathered outside the palace to take part in different running, combat, and jumping events. As Odysseus watched the games, a prince called Laodamas asked him to compete. Before Odysseus could answer, another man, Eurilus, teased him.
13:39 Liv Albert? "I know your type. You're no athlete." Odysseus was angry. He couldn't ignore the insult. He picked the biggest, heaviest discus he could find. Holding it in one hand, he spun around and around, then hurled it high in the air. Athena used her powers to make Odysseus's discus fly further than all the others. "See?" Odysseus boasted. "Name your contest, and I'll beat every single one of you, except for my honored host, of course." The king stepped in. "I'm sorry, dear guest, for this rudeness.
14:22 Liv Albert? Come now, it's time to relax. Our most talented bard, Demodocus, is going to sing for us." This episode is brought to you by Quince. You know the drill.

18:29 Liv Albert? Bards were poets, singers, and storytellers. They performed wherever there was an audience. From palaces to public squares, and funerals to festivals. Ancient Games. Athletic games were very popular in ancient Greece. The most famous were the Olympic Games, which were first held in 776 BCE and took place every four years. Unlike modern competitors, the athletes took part naked, with their bodies covered in slippery oil. Women were not allowed to take part or even watch the games. But there are tales of women secretly becoming trainers of male relatives
19:14 Liv Albert? so they could be part of the games too.
19:18 Liv Albert? Once Odysseus and his hosts had taken their seats for the performance, Demodocus the bard strummed a few notes on his lyre and began to sing. The first song was about the Trojan War. "The best of the Greeks, Achilles and Odysseus, argued with one another," he sang. Their leader, Agamemnon, knew this was a sign that the long war was nearing its end. Before the bard could continue, King Alcanous stopped him. Odysseus had tried to hide his face, but the kind king had noticed that his guest was weeping. "That's enough for now," he announced. "You can continue your songs later, Demodocus.
20:03 Liv Albert? For now, let's feast and honor our guest with gifts, so he can return home with the wealth of Phaeacia." Just as their king asked, some Phaeacians honored the stranger— Odysseus still hadn't told them his real name—by giving him things he would need for his voyage. Others gave him treasure, so he would remember them for their generosity. Eurilus handed Odysseus a magnificent bronze sword with a silver handle and ivory scabbard. "This is to say sorry for my rudeness," he said.
20:39 Liv Albert? "Thank you, my friend," Odysseus replied, pleased. When he had eaten his fill, Odysseus turned to the bard. "Demodocus, you are a talented man," he began. "The muse has taught you well. Your song of Troy was so true that it was as if you had been there yourself. Will you sing now about the wooden horse and the hero Odysseus who came up with the idea?" Nobody suspected that he was asking for a story about himself. Demodocus, happy to do as Odysseus asked, began to sing.
21:15 Liv Albert? It's been nineteen years since the Greeks sent nearly all their men and all their ships to wage war on the city of Troy. He sang, strumming on his lyre. King Agamemnon wanted the glory of victory while his brother, King Menelaus of Sparta, wanted his wife back. Helen of Sparta had become Helen of Troy and was living with Paris, the Trojan prince. Some say she was taken by force, others say it was the gods who made her leave her home and husband. The bard continued his song of the war. For nine years, the Greeks laid siege to Troy, but the armies were evenly matched.
21:59 Liv Albert? The Greeks had their greatest hero, Achilles, and the Trojans had theirs, Prince Hector. The Olympian gods chose sides and meddled in the battles of kings and warriors. The war raged on until it was no longer about getting Queen Helen back. Each side just wanted to destroy the other. The death of Patroclus, the beloved friend of Achilles, brought about the end of this war. While wearing Achilles's armor, Patroclus was killed in a battle by Hector. The loss of his friend sent Achilles on a furious rampage.
22:39 Liv Albert? Ignoring the warrior's code of honor, he killed Hector and brutally mistreated his body. The great city of Troy tried to avenge its prince with the help of its allies, the Ethiopian king Memnon and Penthesilea, queen of the Amazons. But even those great warriors were no match for the mighty Achilles. Only the gods could end Achilles's terrible rampage through Troy. Finally, Apollo, the archer god, gave Prince Paris the strength to kill Achilles with an arrow from afar. Demodocus paused to look at the stranger who had asked him for this story.
23:24 Liv Albert? Then he continued. Victory was finally achieved by Odysseus's cunning trick. The Greeks burned their camps and hid their ships out of sight to make the Trojans think that their enemies had given up and sailed home. All they left behind was a huge wooden horse, which seemed to be a gift for the gods. But inside that horse, Odysseus and his men were hiding. The Trojans, after a long debate, brought the horse inside their city walls. When night fell, the Greek warriors came out from their hiding place, set the city
24:04 Liv Albert? on fire, and reduced Troy to a mountain of ashes. Demodocus finished and the audience clapped and cheered. Only Odysseus sat completely silent, his face wet with tears. Achilles was killed when Paris's arrow hit his heel. It was the only part of his body not made invincible by his mother, the goddess Thetis. Not the whole story. In both The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer tells stories of the Trojan War, but he doesn't say what happened after the death of Hector, or how Achilles died. Even the famous horse only gets a brief mention.
24:48 Liv Albert? Here, the bard fills in some gaps for us, although Homer doesn't say exactly what he sang. The song helps us understand why Odysseus is so sad and how he got his reputation for clever tricks.
25:06 Liv Albert? Episode 7. I Am Odysseus. Demodocus's story had left Odysseus heartbroken. Again, King Alcanous noticed the tears streaming down his guest's cheeks. "The song was beautiful, but not everyone enjoyed it," he said. "Our honored guest is grieving." He turned to Odysseus. "Tell us, stranger, what is your name and where do you come from? My men will need to know so they can safely guide you home. Tell us about your wanderings and why you were so sad to hear of the war." Your poet is very talented, began Odysseus.
25:48 Liv Albert? There's nothing better than getting together to enjoy such a wonderful song. You asked me about my story, so I'll tell you, although it will only make me even sadder. Where should I begin? I am Odysseus, famous for my clever tricks and lies. Laertes is my father and I am from the island of Ithaca. The hall fell dead silent. No one had suspected that their guest was the same man that Demodocus had been singing about. After they had gotten over their surprise, the Phaeacians settled down to listen as Odysseus began to tell his story.
26:31 Liv Albert? As I told you, Calypso kept me on her island for years. Before her, another goddess, Circe, did the same. But neither could make me forget my beloved wife, Penelope. But I'll start at the beginning, when I left Troy with my twelve ships and their crews. A gust of wind guided us first to Ismaris, the land of the Cacones people, who had been allies of Troy in the war. We raided their city, then destroyed it. My men were reckless, feasting on the food and drink they seized. Soon, the Cacones reinforcements arrived and attacked us.
27:14 Liv Albert? We fought hard and most of us escaped, but some men were lost. We fled back to our ships with heavy hearts. Odysseus's storytelling was so vivid that the Phaeacians could almost picture themselves among his crew. After the disaster with the Cacones, we all wanted to sail straight home. In good weather, we would have reached Ithaca in a few days. But Zeus cursed us with a storm, which swept us off course for nine days. On the tenth day, we reached an island. After the men had fetched water and we had all eaten, I gave my orders.
27:56 Liv Albert? I need three men to go and scout out this island. Nobody complained. They were all grateful to be on dry land after the terrible storm. "Go and find out what kind of people live here," I told them, "and remember, they could be dangerous." When the scouts did not come back, we went after them and eventually found them with the people of the island. I called these people lotus eaters, after the sweet fruit they ate. I could see that my men had been eating the fruit too. When I called out to my scouts, they just stared off into the distance, as if they were in a trance. "Who are you again?" one of them asked me. "Don't be ridiculous!"
28:41 Liv Albert? I yelled. This was no time for games. Come with me right now, we must return to Ithaca, to our homes. "What do you mean, homes? What is Ithaca?" the other man asked. I couldn't believe my ears. The scouts had forgotten me, forgotten their homes, they had even forgotten themselves. Watching one of the crew trying to take another bite of a fruit, I realized that it was the lotus fruit that had done this to my men. I knocked the lotus out of his hand. He barely noticed me and just calmly reached for another. There was no reasoning with my men in this state, all I could do was drag them back to the ships.
29:25 Liv Albert? They tried to fight back, but in their weak state it was easy to force them aboard. We set sail immediately, before any more of my crew could forget their own homes, wives, and families. With heavy hearts we sailed on. Just as we rounded another island, a thick fog settled over our ships. We couldn't see our way, so we anchored our ships in the harbor and slept the night on the sheltered shore. Wars and pirates. In Homer's tales, it was sometimes hard to tell the difference between soldiers and pirates. Many warriors collected riches during a war or on the way home.
30:08 Liv Albert? Sometimes treasure was a gift, but often they stole it. Some winning armies burned conquered cities or even turned on their allies, like Odysseus and the Cacones. Ordinary people caught up in these conflicts suffered greatly.
30:26 Liv Albert? Mysterious Fruits. For thousands of years, people have wondered if the lotus eater's fruits were based on real ones. The plants we call lotus today look very different to Homer's description. Some people think Homer was describing the fruits of the wild jujube tree, which taste delicious, but they don't have magical powers and definitely don't make people forget their families.
