The Odyssey for a Modern Audience:
Come to me muses,
Inspire and amuse us:
Bring us the story
Of one full of glory,
Intelligence and pride
Whom Athena did guide
Home
Finally
After 10 years lost at sea.
O returned to his castle disguised as a bum.
He won a contest to get his kingdom.
He slayed all the suitors; he slayed most the maids
(his son and loyal servants offering aid).
He won back his wife, took back his place,
He did what he had to clean up the space,
And rule
Ithaka
