◇

他不是在航行，就是在回家的路上。
而一個人要走多遠，才能回到自己身上？



特洛伊城已焚，英雄卻遲遲未歸。十年征戰之後，又是十年漂流，旅途不再是冒險的堆疊。海浪、神祇、怪物與人心，只留下名為「奧德修斯」的意志，在世界邊緣反覆試煉。奧德修斯拒絕仙女許諾的永生，選擇有限卻真實的人生；以智慧逃離獨眼巨人的洞穴，卻招致海神的長久追逐；在妖女與誘惑之間停泊，在冥府與亡魂對話，卻聽見英雄對榮耀的悔恨。歸途成了不斷失去的過程，直到最後只剩下一個人，與「回家」這個念頭。

與此同時，家園並未靜止等待。王后皮奈洛普以一匹永遠織不完的布，抵抗時間與逼迫。返鄉尚未發生，家園已在崩解。當奧德修斯終於踏上土地，他選擇隱身，以乞丐之姿回到自己的宮殿，忍受羞辱與試探，觀看誰仍忠誠、誰早已變節，復仇與秩序在同一瞬間降臨……

《奧德賽》奠定了西方敘事傳統中旅程與回歸的原型，開創了內在成長與時間考驗的敘事模式。一部關於忍耐、欺瞞、智慧與歸屬，以及關於時間、試煉與人之尊嚴的史詩。當世界不斷要求你前進，《奧德賽》卻固執地發問：你，還記得回去的路嗎？

▌專文導讀

「奧德修斯的返鄉，是拒絕永生，逃離安逸，再度以人類之姿，面對挑戰與苦難。在穿越遺忘的歸途中，真正可怕的是安逸與幸福。只要奧德修斯有一刻動搖，沉溺在甜美的善意裡，他的所有經歷，將成為泡影。為了不要被遺忘，他必須以自己的力量返回，以自己的聲音，講述自己的故事，成為故事的主人。」――朱嘉漢∣作家

About the author

Homer (Greek: Όμηρος born c. 8th century BC) was a Greek poet who is credited as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that are foundational works of ancient Greek literature. Homer is considered one of the most revered and influential authors in history.
Homer's Iliad centers on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles during the last year of the Trojan War. The Odyssey chronicles the ten-year journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, back to his home after the fall of Troy. The poems are in Homeric Greek, also known as Epic Greek, a literary language which shows a mixture of features of the Ionic and Aeolic dialects from different centuries; the predominant influence is Eastern Ionic. Most researchers believe that the poems were originally transmitted orally. Despite being predominantly known for its tragic and serious themes, the Homeric poems also contain instances of comedy and laughter.
Homer's epic poems shaped aspects of ancient Greek culture and education, fostering ideals of heroism, glory, and honor. To Plato, Homer was simply the one who "has taught Greece" (τὴν Ἑλλάδα πεπαίδευκεν). In Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Virgil refers to Homer as "Poet sovereign", king of all poets; in the preface to his translation of the Iliad, Alexander Pope acknowledges that Homer has always been considered the "greatest of poets". From antiquity to the present day, Homeric epics have inspired many famous works of literature, music, art, and film.
The question of by whom, when, where and under what circumstances the Iliad and Odyssey were composed continues to be debated. Scholars remain divided as to whether the two works are the product of a single author. It is thought that the poems were composed at some point around the late eighth or early seventh century BC. Many accounts of Homer's life circulated in classical antiquity; the most widespread account was that he was a blind bard from Ionia, a region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. Modern scholars consider these accounts legendary.
