A proposito di questo titolo
A mysterious stranger. A magnificent kingdom. Songs of war that awaken memories too painful to hide.

In The Odyssey: Books 7 & 8, the shipwrecked Odysseus enters the wealthy and seemingly enchanted land of the Phaeacians, where the next stage of his journey begins.

Guided by Athena, Odysseus approaches the splendid palace of King Alcinous and Queen Arete. Concealing his identity, he pleads for their protection and asks for safe passage home. Moved by his suffering, the royal family welcomes him according to the sacred laws of hospitality and promises to help him return to Ithaca.

A feast and athletic celebration are held in the stranger’s honor. When one of the young Phaeacians questions his strength, Odysseus answers with a remarkable display of skill that reveals the warrior still hidden beneath his exhausted appearance.

Yet his greatest struggle comes through music. The blind poet Demodocus sings of the Trojan War, including events tied to Odysseus himself. Unable to escape the grief of his past, the mysterious traveler repeatedly hides his tears—until King Alcinous finally recognizes that their guest carries a story he can no longer conceal.

Rich with hospitality, competition, poetry, memory, and emotional revelation, Books 7 and 8 prepare the way for Odysseus to reveal his identity and recount the legendary adventures that brought him to the Phaeacian shore.

Narrated by William Johnston, this installment continues Homer’s timeless epic of endurance, identity, honor, and the long struggle to return home.
