Seven women carried Odysseus home. The poem kept the record. The retelling walked past their names.

The Women of the Odyssey

Three thousand years of readers have followed one man across the wine dark water. The women stand at every turning of that road, and the color and the magic of the poem belong to them. Circe holds the only chart that reaches Ithaca. Calypso hands over the axe and the timber. Helen names Telemachus before any man in the room does. Twelve enslaved women die in a single sentence and enter the story as a number.

This zine stops at seven of them, one page each, and gives back the scenes Homer already wrote. Every reference cites the book of the poem, so any translation on your shelf will take you straight to the passage. The pages are built to print at home, fold, and pass on.
