A humorous parody -The title refers to a navigational error made by Odysseus in travelling from one part of Europe to another - he went too far south. This is the story of Odysseus's return after twenty years of trying to find Greece, and comfronting his wife's 112 suitors. Homer describes the scene : '... so did Odysseus' party chase the suitors pell- mell through the hall and hack them down. Skulls cracked, the hideous cries of dying men were heard, and the whole floor ran with blood.....' Alick Rowe's version is more plausible; listen to this and learn what really happened.
