A Harmonious Echo
You've unconsciously woven a powerful thematic echo between Stephen Fry's "Odyssey" and Homer's foundational epic, despite your preference for a different ending in Homer's work. Your ache for Odysseus's return and the tying up of 'Trojan string' reveals a shared narrative impulse in both accounts: a deep human yearning for resolution and the comforting embrace of home, a sentiment powerfully mirrored in the resonance you found across both versions of the tale.
