For example: What did the Laestrygonians look like? And could it be that Cavafy is talking nonsense? Why are the Cyclopes still singing "The Twelve" and "The Little One in Love"?
What kind of witch was Circe, and how much did she charge for a detailed horoscope? What was the deal with the lotuses and Helios’s black angus?
What was the Sirens’ repertoire, and why does one person go down from falling, while another from being tied up?
What did my mother say to me the moment she saw me in the Underworld? (No, back then we didn’t have cardigans.)
What was Scylla before she went savage, and why were all the antacids in the world not enough for her sister?
How did I end up stranded for seven years on Calypso’s island?
How much of a mafioso was Hermes, really? And why do we not know more about the mysterious Larry?
Above all – who was the real Penelope, who never touched a loom in her life and couldn’t care less about the suitors?
So sit back, and I, Odysseus, the resourceful protagonist of the story, will tell you everything.
The rest are words of the immortals – that is, fairy tales.
