Keats compared discovering Homer to "finding a new planet." What is it in Homer's great works—and especially the Odyssey—that so enthralled him? Why have readers before and since reacted the same way? By joining award-winning classics professor Elizabeth Vandiver for these lectures on the Odyssey, you can get answers to these and hundreds of other questions.

The dramatic events of the Trojan War are legend?but Homer's epic poem, Iliad, is devoted entirely to a few mundane weeks at the end of a debilitating, waning ten-year campaign. The story's focus is not on drama but on a bitter truth: both armies want nothing more than to stop fighting and go home. Achilles?the electrifying hero who is Homer's brilliant creation?quarrels with his commander, Agamemnon, but eventually returns to the field to avenge a comrade's death.

Elsie Lavender e Homer Hickam (padre dell'autore) vivevano in una minuscola cittadina mineraria del West Virginia e frequentavano lo stesso liceo. Quando Homer chiese a Elsie di sposarlo, appena una settimana dopo il diploma, lei per tutta risposta se ne andò a Orlando, dove fece scintille con un attore e ballerino di nome Buddy Ebsen (sì, proprio quel Buddy Ebsen). Poi Buddy si trasferì a New York in cerca di fortuna e insieme a lui sfumò anche il sogno d'amore di Elsie, che alla fine si ritrovò di nuovo in quella minuscola cittadina mineraria, sposata con Homer. Il ruolo di moglie di un minatore però le andava stretto, e a ricordarle ogni santo giorno l'idilliaco periodo trascorso a Orlando c'era un regalo di nozze molto particolare: un alligatore di nome Albert che viveva nell'unico bagno di casa. Un giorno Albert spaventò a morte Homer azzannandogli i pantaloni, e lui, esasperato, diede alla moglie un ultimatum: "O me o l'alligatore!"
