概要

Odyssey: A Daily Odyssey into Homer’s The Odyssey is a daily read-along podcast for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should really read The Odyssey someday.”

Every day for one year, host Landen Celano reads one page from The Odyssey, (using Butcher & Lang English prose translation), then follows it with smart, spoiler-aware commentary: close reading, Greek mythology context, Homeric weirdness, and whatever tangents the text demands.

If you’re here because you’re hyped for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey film: welcome. This show isn’t about the movie. It’s about finally experiencing the ancient story itself, in order, one page at a time.

Read along on YouTube (the text appears on screen), or grab the same Butcher & Lang translation from Project Gutenberg. Want a more traditional audiobook experience? Patreon subscribers get commentary-free audio at the end of each chapter.

New episodes daily. Despite rain, sleet, snow, and hydra encounters.

  • The Song That Stings the Silence (Homer’s The Odyssey, Book I – Part 5)
    2026/01/23

    Music fills the hall, but not all who hear it are at ease. As the wooers settle into indulgence, their feast crowned with song, the distance between celebration and grief becomes impossible to ignore.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Book I, the minstrel Phemius performs for the wooers, compelled to entertain the very men who consume Odysseus’ household. Sitting beside the disguised Athene, Telemachus quietly reveals his resentment and sorrow—speaking of his father’s absence, the damage done in his name, and the bitterness of a hope that feels increasingly fragile.

    This moment matters because Telemachus finally gives voice to his loss, transforming silent longing into spoken resolve and setting the stage for the questions that will define his path forward.

  • The First Act of Hospitality (Homer’s The Odyssey, Book I – Part 4)
    2026/01/22

    A quiet gesture of courtesy breaks through the disorder of Odysseus’ hall. Amid the noise and excess of the wooers, Telemachus notices a lone stranger at the gate and is moved by thoughts of his absent father.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Book I, Telemachus welcomes Athene—still in disguise—into the household with formal hospitality, offering her a seat, food, and wine apart from the suitors. His careful attention to custom and his unease among the men who dominate his home reveal both his youth and his emerging sense of responsibility.

    This moment matters because it shows Telemachus acting with the dignity of a host, hinting at the leadership he longs to claim and the legacy he hopes his father will one day restore.

  • The Goddess Sets the Journey in Motion (Homer’s The Odyssey, Book I – Part 3)
    2026/01/21

    A plan takes shape among the gods, and action finally replaces delay. With Odysseus’ return now agreed upon, Athene proposes a division of labor that will set both father and son on their paths homeward.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Athene urges Zeus to send Hermes to Ogygia to command Calypso to release Odysseus, while she herself prepares to intervene in Ithaca. Disguised as a mortal stranger, she descends from Olympus to stir resolve in Telemachus and confront the disorder consuming his father’s household.

    This moment matters because it marks the first direct intervention of the gods in human affairs—Odysseus’ long return is no longer abstract, and Telemachus’ story is about to begin.
