Thanks, Davis, for this fine and brief Christian take on The Odyssey.

My wife recently read the 1937 version (translated by W.H.D. Rouse). I have just ordered Robert Fagles's translation for myself.

With Christopher Nolan's movie now out, we will have many commenting on this ancient story. Of course, as expected, there will be widely divergent takes.

As a teacher of the Scripture (am a NT prof.), I show people how even reading the sometimes-gory stories of the Bible requires a Christian take on it -- even when we see things we can (and cannot) emulate.
