Athena Becomes a Swallow and Other Voices from The Odyssey by Brent MacLaine (English) is a collection of 27 monologues spoken by minor characters from Homer's Odyssey. The poems demonstrate how the shine of the gods falls on the common folk as well as the nobility. MacLaine creates a world as real and immediate to us today as it may have been 3,000 years ago.
