Eastern Press printing of Homer's Odyssey

After basing my readings and story in week two on Homer's Iliad it seems only natural to select the poem's sequel for this week's focus. Crafting a story around the tumultuous trip home of a group of individuals is something that can be easily done no matter the period of time chosen for the setting. Whether this will serve as a direct sequel to my prior writing is still a decision I have yet to make for myself, it would be simpler to continue with the prior story, but a fresh start would allow for more creativity to be utilized. The story focuses on the bond of brotherhood that was formed in warfare and transitioned over to the many challenges during the travel home, this could be a theme that transfers well into a new creative story.
