Homer's The Odyssey has been retold countless times across film, fiction, and theatre. But never quite like this.When Kevin, a hard-drinking Australian bloke with more opinions than survival skills, finds himself swept into the world of Odysseus, the ancient epic stops feeling like mythology and starts feeling dangerously real.Monsters become flesh-and-blood threats. Gods interfere in human lives with casual cruelty. Kings, warriors, witches, sailors and drunks all collide across a violent Mediterranean world where survival usually comes down to instinct, nerve, and luck.Told through Kevin's blunt Australian voice, this modern retelling strips away the polished "e;heroic"e; version of the classic tale and rebuilds it as something rougher, darker, funnier, and far more human.From the Lotus-Eaters and giant cannibals to Circe, the Sirens, and the bloody chaos of the bow contest in Ithaca, the story unfolds through the eyes of a man who never expected to end up inside one of the greatest journeys ever written.
