How can we help?

Yes — all 24 books of the Odyssey, Book I through Book XXIV, are in the app, in clear modern prose. The full story is there, in order, nothing abridged.

The Odyssey is a deck of cards. Each card is one beat of the story. Swipe forward to sail on, swipe back to retrace your wake. The app remembers where you stopped, so you can pick up the next time you open it.

Yes — open the books index and choose any of the 24 books to start reading from there.

Yes. The Odyssey lives in the app, so you can read it anywhere — on a plane, on a train, or far from any signal.

For anything to do with a purchase — including restoring one on a new device, or a question about a charge — email [email protected] and we'll help.

Homer's Odyssey is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store, and for Android phones and tablets on Google Play.

First, fully close and reopen the app. If something still isn't right, email [email protected] with your device model and iOS or Android version, and a quick note on what happened — we'll fix it.

The Odyssey is presented as a deck you swipe through — one beat of the story per card, in clear modern prose. As you read, the characters, monsters, and islands you meet collect into their own decks of cards you can browse, plus a sea-chart that fills in as you sail.

You don't have to do anything — they collect themselves. The moment you reach the scene where someone or somewhere appears, its card is added to your decks. No grind, no checklist; just keep reading and the world fills in behind you.

It's a parchment sea-chart of the whole journey. Places stay dim until you reach them in the story; your route draws itself across the Aegean as you read, so you can always see how far you've sailed.

Flip any card to read the great public-domain translations — Samuel Butler (1900), Butcher & Lang (1879), and A. T. Murray (1919) — stacked side by side. They're in the public domain, so you can read, quote, and share them freely.

The modern prose retelling is original work by Knovella, offered for personal reading. The original translations a flip away are in the public domain, so you're welcome to quote and share them. See the terms of use for the details.

Please tell us — corrections are genuinely welcome. Email [email protected] with the book and roughly where in it you saw it, and we'll review.

As little as possible. There's no account and no sign-up to read, and your reading progress and collection live on your device. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
