Ad Navseam Episode 27: “HOLY MOLY!” — Homer’s Odyssey, part 5 (Book 10)

Episode 27 Published 5 years, 3 months ago
Description

After giving the Cyclops everything short of his credit card information, Odysseus and the boys are in for more bumps and bruises. First it’s a visit with Aeolus, god of the winds, who bags up all the blustery blasts, but instead of telling his crew our hero decides it’s “nap time”. Then it's on to the Laestrygonians for more cannibalism and general rock-chucking. At last they wash up on the island of Aeaea (no vowel-buying necessary) where Circe decides that while men are pigs the Hermes-helped Odysseus can stick around for a bit. Have these men learned anything?  How many crew remain? Is Odysseus even telling the truth or is he a kind of ancient Keyser Söze?
