205A-Odyssey: Man of Constant Sorrow

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

With monsters, witches, sirens, and cyclopes, the Odyssey is one of the landmarks of world literature and a classic for the ages. This is the start of Odysseus's long journey home from a war that he didn't want to join in the first place.

The creature is a big monster with one small request: all the water in the world forever.
