    Why Odysseus Must Descend into the Underworld (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In Book 11, near the centre of the Odyssey, Odysseus gives us the first account of resurrection. It involves a descent to the realm of the dead. All men go on this journey. Only a few have ever come back.
