FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who can I talk to?
Odysseus today. Achilles, Zeus and Athena arrive next.
Where do the answers come from?
From the original texts, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Beyond the story, the figure says so rather than inventing.
Do I need any background to start?
No. Let Odysseus tell you his voyage, then open the text when you feel like it.
