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.

    Tears Beneath the Cloak (Homer’s The Odyssey, Book VIII – Part 3)
    2026/05/06

    Joy gives way to memory, and a song meant for delight opens a wound too deep to hide. Even in honor, the past asserts its claim.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Book VIII, Odysseus listens as the minstrel Demodocus sings of the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles. Overcome, he veils his face and weeps in silence, pouring libations whenever the song pauses. Though the company remains unaware, King Alcinous notices the stranger’s grief and brings the performance to an end, calling instead for athletic games to display the strength and skill of the Phaeacians.

    This moment reveals how memory pierces celebration, and how Odysseus’ hidden sorrow draws the king’s thoughtful response.

    Preparation turns swiftly into celebration, and the promise of return is marked by ritual, craft, and song. Yet even joy carries the weight of what has been.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Book VIII, the Phaeacians ready a swift ship for Odysseus’ voyage while the palace fills with guests. Alcinous offers sacrifice and a great feast, and the blind minstrel Demodocus is led into the hall and honored among the company. When he sings, the Muse turns him to the tale of the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles, a song whose fame reaches back to the beginnings of Trojan sorrow.

    This moment binds past and present together, as heroic memory enters the feast and stirs what cannot remain silent.

    Morning at the Assembly (Homer’s The Odyssey, Book VIII – Part 1)

    A new day brings public judgment, renewed hospitality, and the promise of action. The stranger’s fate now moves from the private hall into the open sight of the people.

    In this passage from The Odyssey, Book VIII, King Alcinous rises at dawn and leads Odysseus to the assembly of the Phaeacians near the ships. Athena moves through the city in disguise, calling the elders together and casting fresh grace upon Odysseus so that all marvel at him. Alcinous announces the need to prepare a ship and escort for the stranger, orders a feast, and summons the divine singer Demodocus to honor the gathering.

    This moment shifts Odysseus’ return from promise to preparation, as the whole community is drawn into his journey home.
