Exceptional story worth your credits

David Hair and Cath Mayo knock this series out of the park. Nor could Ben Onwukwe have done better in his narration. These characters and this story and world came to life for me extremely well. I can’t wait for any future installments to this story. This series is a real gem. Great prose, great characterization, and a great imagining of what could have led to homers Iliad and the odyssey. My only question is how far they plan to go. Will they take this story all the way through the Trojan war and bring Odysseus all the way back to Ithaca, or will this story only be a prequel story? I am truly interested in seeing how they handle, and make Homer’s story come to life.
