The Odyssey
“Poets recited and sang stories for audiences at the courts of city leaders and at festivals. A poet could actually improvise a tale in the six-beat rhythm of Greek verse if he knew the plot of his story.”
That helps explain how audiences would be so engaged by a man simply telling a story.
No surround sound, no IMAX, not even any costumes or props.
