A new audiobook adaptation of Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” is being released using an AI-generated replica of actor Michael Caine’s voice. Multiple outlets report that the narration is provided by an ElevenLabs AI clone of Caine, alongside other AI voices and music, and that the project is officially licensed to use the voice replica. The release comes shortly before director Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film adaptation of “The Odyssey,” which is scheduled to debut next month. While Nolan is not personally involved in the audiobook, the timing links the two reinterpretations of the classic story. The Guardian and other outlets note that the audiobook appears through ElevenLabs’ platform, with Deadline specifying it is available for free on ElevenReader. The reports describe the audiobook as part of ElevenLabs’ broader approach to AI audio production, combining multiple AI tools and a full cast of synthetic voices to cover the poem’s expansive material. Across the coverage, the main points are the AI voice cloning, the audiobook format, and the release’s proximity to Nolan’s movie adaptation.
