How People Lived in the Time of Ulysses offers a glimpse into an era where myth and reality blended seamlessly, and daily life revolved around order, valor, and ritual. Greece was not yet a unified nation but a cluster of small, independent kingdoms, each governed by its own monarch. These rulers lived in heavily guarded cities, built with immense stone walls so grand that later ages imagined them crafted by giants. At the core stood palaces, functioning as the center of governance and social life. Their…

The Boyhood and Parents of Ulysses begins in Ithaca, a rugged island where steep hills met the sea, and simplicity thrived over grandeur. This mountainous kingdom, ruled by Laertes, lacked the wide plains that enabled chariot warfare, leaving its warriors to fight on foot. Despite the absence of horses, the land was abundant with goats, sheep, and deer, while its surrounding waters provided rich catches of fish. Summers were long and golden, winters short and gentle. Wildflowers carpeted the slopes, and…

Chapter VIII reveals the slow erosion of wonder in the village of Zhukovo, where once lively tales and half-whispered legends have been replaced by plain talk of debt, hunger, and land disputes. Stories of buried treasure or ghosts have all but vanished, traded for complaints about taxes and the local Zemstvo, which Osip blames for the village’s steady decline. The villagers speak plainly now, with little left to dream about. Men, hardened by labor and disappointment, regard religion as something…

Chapter VII begins with an unsettling quiet in Zhukovo, broken only by the slow, deliberate arrival of the police inspector. Known in the village simply as the master, he comes not with aid but to collect—over two thousand roubles in unpaid taxes owed by villagers already drowning in debt. His first stop is the tavern, not out of interest in the people but for a cup of tea, an act that adds to the sense of detachment he carries like armor. When he finally reaches the elder’s home, a crowd of anxious…

She carries her sadness like a weight, rarely raising her voice, but her presence is heavy with quiet despair. In stark contrast, Fyokla embraces the filth and disarray, clinging to her routine with pride, almost as if disorder is a form of control. Her scorn toward others, especially…

Chapter V begins on a quiet evening during the Fast of the Assumption, where the small, cramped hut seems to shrink under the weight of hunger and silence. Marya moves about slowly, her hands steady but tired, portioning out what little food they have. Granny mutters disapprovingly as she breaks the fast early, too weak to care, while the children watch with a strange mix of curiosity and quiet judgment. Sasha and Motka don’t fully understand the spiritual meaning of fasting, but they’ve absorbed…

Chapter IV opens with the intense heat of August weighing down on the village, pressing even the air into silence. Sasha, a young girl full of restless energy, is given the simple task of guarding the geese from the kitchen-garden. Her grandmother’s trust rests on thin ice, for Sasha’s sense of duty is often overpowered by curiosity. Just as expected, she soon slips away, unable to resist the pull of something more engaging than shooing birds. Her wandering feet carry her to the edge of a ravine, a…
