See if you can guess the author and book this opener comes from:

"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed..."

If you're stuck, try the included link to Amazon.

Feeling a bit tricky today, Vio? Shouldn't you have ended that clue with elipsis rather than a period?

Of course, if you had followed the word hallowed with "...heights of Troy" it would have been more obvious the clue is from Homer's Odyssey.

BTW: Are you sure you're not my high school English teacher in disguise?

Correct, indeed, it's the Odyssey.

I'm no English teacher. I think you're just well-read, ecgordon
