A verse adaptation of the classic tale, originally commissioned for BBC radio, presents the story as a series of dramatic exchanges between Odysseus, his lotus-eating companions, and a range of shape-shifting adversaries. Original In this new verse adaptation, Armitage has recast Homer's epic as a series of bristling dramatic dialogues: between gods and men; between no-nonsense Captain Odysseus and his unruly companions; and between subtle Odysseus and a range of shape-shifting adversaries.
