The Nine Sagas: From Troy to Ithaca, Act by Act

We told the Odyssey in nine sagas, released one by one over two years. Here they are in order, act by act.

What is a saga?

Each saga is a chapter of the journey: a group of songs that tells one part of the story, released together. Put side by side, the nine sagas take Odysseus from the fall of Troy all the way home to Ithaca.
