What we're reading at Sacred Sites International: The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic, by Phil Cousineau.
The book mirrors the 24 chapters of Homer's Odyssey and connects the ancient tale with lessons that still ring true.
And, it is filled with sacred sites: The Holy City of Troy, the Cave of the Nymphs, The Grove of Athena, the isolated isle of Ogygia where the goddess Calypso could be found in the caves, Thrinacia, home of the God of the Sun, Helios…we think you get the idea. Now Read Phil's book!
