Overview
"'Beside the Wine Dark Sea' is a novel-length retelling of Homer's 'The Odyssey' from the perspective of three female characters: Penelope, her handmaid Melantho, and the goddess Athena. The story explores familial, class, and gender relations in mythic Mycenean Greece, though some liberties are taken with historical facts. As Athena narrates, the two mortal protagonists struggle against the relentless onslaught of Penelope's suitors, all the while grappling with the calamitous effects of this pressure on their own relationships." -- Abstract
