Homer is where the art is And yet Armitage acknowledges that he isn't a classicist. His previous experience of bringing Greek culture to British audiences has been a consciously innovative version of Euripides called Mister Heracles. He says of that drama, "The language there was quite anarchic, and I was drawing on every language pool from 3,000 years." With Homer, he has been much more reverential. There are occasional modern phrases – mentions of "just war" and "the mother of all punishments", for example – but on the whole, Armitage has tried not to bring too much contemporary baggage to the old work. "I wanted to stand square in front of the task this time, put myself on the line and rise to the challenge of telling that great, great story." The most famous parts of that story are the travels, such as the encounters with the Cyclops and the witch Circe, who turns Odysseus's men into pigs, then detains them and their master for a year. Then, as he points out, "There's not a lot of dialogue in The Odyssey."

Review: Homer's Odyssey adapted by Simon Armitage Homer's Odyssey adapted by Simon Armitage 144pp, Faber, £14.99 Simon Armitage's jaunty adaptation of The Odyssey for Radio 4 rides on a wave of recent versions and reversions and metaversions and paraversions of Homer. It is only a few months since Canongate published Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, a brilliantly funny and sardonic version of the Odysseus stories seen from Penelope's angle, and told through the incorporeal mouth of her shade in Hades with the benefit of 3,000 years of hindsight. And last year unveiled Cold Calls, the latest slim volume of Christopher Logue's "account" of the Iliad, his constantly astonishing splatter-poem, which has been agglomerating for nearly 50 years now. Faber has dubbed his latest volume Logue's Homer, which is a nice conceit, since it simultaneously pays homage to the way that Logue has fashioned his own Homer and puts it on a pedestal alongside Chapman's and Pope's. Faber has, in fact, something of a corner in renovated Homers.
