“I decided to give this podcast a try since I was a fan of the previous one on the Trojan War. I figured this sequel might be missing a lot of that intensity, but that was not the case. I was not really confused as everything was very well explained, and I might actually be more into this series...”Read full review »

“Really enjoyed listening the podcast. I wanted to hear the whole thing at once, but at the same time didn’t want it to end. Meaningfull commentary all the way through. Lots of real insights that I will be stealing for future presentations.”

“I had listened to his Trojan War podcast and it was pretty good. Figured this one would be on par. But No, this one is so hamstrung by his poor storytelling choices that it makes it unlistenable. First, he chose to “quote” Odysseus with a stupid sounding voice like a cheesy preacher would use to...”Read full review »

“This is my short note to accompany my donation. God in heaven, who laughs at the polytheistic epics, has blessed me greatly, so I donated the highest amount. I, newly enamored with the polytheistic epics, have laughed at your many creative, thoughtful, and contextual analyses of these stories....”Read full review »

“Thank you so much Jeff Wright. My reading of The Odyssey was accompanied by your fabulous storytelling and analysis and I know I appreciated The Odyssey so much more by being ‘told’ it and then by also hearing your thoughts on the gods and characters and events. Congratulations on such amazing work”
