The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature, while the Iliad is the oldest. The Odyssey begins after the end of the ten-year Trojan War (the subject of the Iliad), and Odysseus has still not returned home from the war. This audiobook is the most affordable verison of the Odyssey that also has high quality, masterfully engineered audio. All audio has an even volume level throughout the book, created by using a computer-assisted dyanmic-leveling process. Specific frequencies of narrators' voices have been boosted and compressed to maximize the clarity of their speech. Noise-gate technology has been used to eliminate all background and room noise disturbances.
