The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

From the minute she is sent to Hatfield, Mary Tudors' life, would never be the same again. When Mary Tudor receives the letter she has been dreading for years, it changes her world more than she ever could have imagined. The once indulged and sheltered heir to the throne of England, Mary is cast into the brutal and harsh reality that is her fathers' realm. Living as a prisoner, and forced to serve as a maid to her usurping half-sister, the daughter of Marys' deadly enemy, her ill-treatment will ultimately shape her life as a pious, and determinedly stubborn woman. Through four more of her fathers' marriages, a battle of religious liberty with her once adoring brother and her increasingly strained relationship with her sister, Mary must draw on her remarkable bravery and determination, to not only overcome the prejudices of her gender, but to also guide her to the most powerful, and dangerous role of all: the throne of England.

'Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived." In this way, the six wives of Henry VIII were remembered not for how they lived, but in the way they died. It is impossible to know exactly what they were thinking or had to go through, in having to marry this larger-than life King, so assured of his own rightness. It is impossible to know what their last thoughts were. But we can guess, and infer. Because these six women weren't simply paper-thin, flat cut-outs from hundreds of years ago; they were unique, and each had their own strength, and each had the fate to marry King Henry VIII, and dance around this large maypole. *Shorts on the six wives of Henry VIII; their lives, their deaths*

The story of Anne Boleyn does not end on the scaffold. The fate of the Tudors is rewritten in blood and fire... I hear it, before I am ready. The high whistle of a sharp blade slicing through the air. Anne Boleyn: the ambitious virgin, the great whore, the queen, the revolutionary, the witch, is going to die... At that moment the world explodes in sound. I hear running and screaming, chaos around me. This is not right. I hear the voice of my killer. "Run! Run now Anne!" he whispers roughly. I rip off the blindfold. My eyes adjust, but what I see makes no sense. Maybe I am dead after all. Maybe this is hell... Anne will fight for survival and revenge in the face of the deadly plague that blights the land. Thomas Cromwell will fight for power in a dying kingdom. A tale of Anne Boleyn with an apocolyptic twist.
