Listening to this on audiobook and I was surprised to learn that Ian McKellen is the narrator!
Also, we’ve been following Talimanicus so far. I thought I had read this book when I was in high school but maybe it was an abridged version because I definitely don’t remember this part.

I’m really enjoying it. Of course, I may be swayed by Sir McKellen’s narration. Am I allowed to spoil a 2800 year old book?

Tyler Brooks Correction: Odysseus’ son’s name is Telemachus. I may have been influenced by the family name from the Red Rising series ;-)

Kory Schweinfurth Wait until you hear that the name in Red Rising is Telemanus and not anything like what you just wrote
