"...set out again, with an oar on your shoulder, and travel to a country where people have never heard of the sea..."

Returning guest and deep friend of the podcast, interdisciplinary performer and storyteller Jo Blake, is back! This time to invite us to look at Odysseus, the classical epitome of heroic masculinity, with new eyes.

The story of Odysseus has always been a living companion story for Jo, though she is yet to tell it. We discuss how Odysseus' voyage goes beyond gender, teaches something profound about the nature of reality and relation, and can be seen as a valuable story of submission, humility and descension.

And last but not least, why most modern retellings of the Odyssey often choose to leave out the actual ending.
