It’s been damn near 20 years since Odyssia first sailed for Troy… as if a 10 year war wasn’t bad enough. Then she’s gotta face the wrath and pettiness of goddesses and sorcerers and monsters and mutiny from her own crew and that’s not even half of it! It just never ends!!
Then she washes up on the island of the super clingy god, Calypso, who wishes to marry her and make her immortal. Odyssia is having none of that. She has Peneleon waiting for her at home, and she will literally go through Hell and high water to get back to him…… but Calypso’s island is basically impossible to escape so… she’s kinda stuck. So just like how Peneleon spends his days crying in his room, Odyssia spends her days crying on the beach. Luckily though, not ALL the goddesses are against her. She still has a couple friends left on Mount Olympia.
The thing that keeps her going is knowing that it’ll all be worth it when she finally returns home to Ithaca, takes her loving husband in her arms, sees her daughter all grown up, and guts every last suitor that dared to sully her floors.
P.S.
If you’re wondering what all the weird notes are about, this version of the Odyssey was written by a woman who was CONVINCED that the Odyssey was written by a man, and she has all these weird notes as “proof“.

Hey, remember Aenea? From the Iliad? …no?
WELL she gets her OWN Odyssey adventure!
Did Virginia just write a plagiarized version of the Odyssey by Homera?
I mean…….. the similarities are pretty glaring. But do I respect the fact that this story was commissioned by the empress of Rome and she wanted it to glorify her but Virginia didn’t like her so she figured out a way to write it so it glorified Rome while subtly MOCKING the empress? Yes. Absolutely. I respect the Hell out of that. This book is worth reading based on that alone.
Follow Aenea and her crew as they go through all kinds of nonsense just to make it back home again. Sound familiar?

Dantea really said “I’m going to write my own self insert fanfiction where I get to hang out with my celebrity crush and lust after a boy I barely knew before he died and no one can stop me.“ and she did. She really did.
And now, centuries in the future, we get to read the thrilling tale of Dantea getting lost in the woods and the only way out for some reason is to follow Virginia (the woman who wrote The Aeneid) through literal Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. What a crazy Tuesday that was.

The quote on the back of the book sums up the synopsis perfectly.
“This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all, an adventure,
for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it.
It will try simply to tell of a generation of women who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.”
We follow Paula and her friends as they go from bright-eyed young soldiers wanting to make their country proud… to disillusioned veterans with PTSD….. Spoiler alert, turns out war is not very fun.
