From War to Wonder, Dennis Slattery's new book, not only explicates the beauty and power of the Odyssey, Homer's twenty-seven-hundred-year-old marvel-filled epic, it also offers a marvelous way to interact with it on a daily basis. Those who do so will be amply rewarded by finding access to the poem's myriad meanings, as well as their capacity for forging their own personal myths.
