This is the preface to Odysseus-The Epic Myth of the Hero, a novel length, narrative poem by Marc Ladewig, published by Infinity Publishing.com.

Take a cup of your sweet favorite O Be Soulful. Wet your lips and read this tale aloud to kith and kin or by yourself to break the glowing silence with a song. You know this myth by heart; the start, the run, the end. The hero here is modern down the ages though he lived one hundred lives ago in ancient Greece. His woes in wave and war could be your own at heart. And if this work could beg the blessing of a god, let Hermes, the messenger of Zeus, love my words, for he will guide my soul to final rest, the god of sons who rob their fathers.
