Exhaustion finally overtakes endurance. After storm, surf, and supplication, survival gives way to rest.
In The Odyssey, Book 5, the river god answers Odysseus’ prayer, stilling the waters and bearing him safely to shore. Broken by salt and fatigue, he collapses, releases Ino’s saving veil back to the sea, and gives thanks upon the earth itself.
Weighing the dangers of cold, exposure, and beasts, Odysseus chooses wisely. He climbs to a sheltered wood, builds a bed of fallen leaves beneath twin olive trees, and at last lies down. There, Athene grants him deep sleep, easing the long travail of sea and sorrow as the night closes around him.

Description

Odyssey: A Daily Odyssey into Homer’s The Odyssey is a daily read-along podcast for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should really read The Odyssey someday.”
Every day for one year, host Landen Celano reads one page from The Odyssey, (using Butcher & Lang English prose translation), then follows it with smart, spoiler-aware commentary: close reading, Greek mythology context, Homeric weirdness, and whatever tangents the text demands.
If you’re here because you’re hyped for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey film: welcome. This show isn’t about the movie. It’s about finally experiencing the ancient story itself, in order, one page at a time. 
Read along on YouTube (the text appears on screen), or grab the same Butcher & Lang translation from Project Gutenberg. Want a more traditional audiobook experience? Patreon subscribers get commentary-free audio at the end of each chapter.
New episodes daily. Despite rain, sleet, snow, and hydra encounters.
