Fall asleep as we explore the funny (and rather boring) history of Homer's epic tale: The Odyssey.
Who was this guy "Homer" anyways? What is the plot of The Odyssey, and why is it so incredibly unreasonable and difficult for Odysseus just to get home? And why has this story remained famous throughout history?
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
