The Long Way Home

The Long Way Home

Twenty-four chapters of Homer's Odyssey, retold for this family, with the workbook built in. One question runs through all of it: how do I govern the Odysseus in me?

• Read the chapter.
• Check what you caught.
• Work one real exercise — a hubris check, a wax-or-mast plan, or a step of the return.
• Talk it over as a family.

Three movements: pride creates tragedy; self-control protects us from temptation; responsibility, repentance, and repair make redemption possible.
