In \u003cem\u003eThe Wisdom of the Odyssey\u003c\/em\u003e, mythologist Phil Cousineau distills the epic into twenty-four chapters that mirror Homer's original books and connect their lessons to our own lives. Readers follow Odysseus through his ordeals and changes of heart, as he's sustained not only by cunning and grit but by love for his wife, Penelope; his son, Telemachus; and his homeland, the island of Ithaka. In his delightfully strange world of monsters, tricksters, and sorceresses, Homer reveals what it means to be human. Timed for release with Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated film adaptation, this volume shows how Odysseus's enduring story is more relevant than ever, and how it can guide us toward perseverance, meaning, and a richer inner life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhil Cousineau\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, teacher, filmmaker, storyteller, and cultural historian.
