Sail Away with "The Journey of Ulysses": A Modern Spin on a Timeless Epic
Hey there, fellow mythology buffs!
I've always been fascinated by the rich tapestry of myths and legends, especially those that have stood the test of time. This passion led me to embark on a special project that I'm excited to complete and share with you all. My latest book, "The Journey of Ulysses," is finally here, offering a fresh and modern take on Homer's classic, "The Odyssey."
In "The Journey of Ulysses," I invite you to join me on an adventure across ancient seas through the eyes of one of literature's most enduring heroes. This isn't your high school textbook's Odyssey. Imagine all the cunning of Ulysses, the battles with mythical creatures, and the longing for home, but told in a way that is easier to read and makes sure the gods are Greek gods, as they should be, and not Roman gods, as they were in many English retellings. It was originally written in Greek, so why not bring it into modern English prose instead of something translated or retold well over a century ago?
Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original epic or looking for an exhilarating story that combines ancient lore with a contemporary twist, this book is for you. I've poured my heart and soul (and a fair bit of modern-day lingo) into retelling Ulysses's legendary journey. So, if you're up for an adventure that blends the old with the new in a tale as timeless as it is relevant, "The Journey of Ulysses" awaits.
Set sail into a story that bridges worlds and weaves the past into the present. It's a story about resilience, the power of the human spirit, and the endless pursuit of home, no matter the obstacles.
I had a wonderful time revisiting the story myself as I retold it!
Catch the wave,
Samuel DenHartog
