This reissue of the 1919 classic combines the immortal stories from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey into one glorious saga of heroism and magical adventure. Beloved by generations, Padraic Colum's masterful retelling of these epic adventures is remarkably fresh, consistently spellbinding, and unmatched for its richness and poetry. It carries a new generation of young readers to ancient Greece with Odysseus and Achilles who, guided by the gods, seek vengeance against the Trojans, and follows Odysseus on his perilous journey, through the land of the Cyclopes, past Circe the Enchantress, the terrible Charybdis and the six-headed serpent Scylla.(P)2000 Blackstone Audiobooks Action & Adventure Ancient Civilizations Anthologies & Short Stories Classics Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths Greek & Roman Historical Historical Fiction Literature & Fiction Ancient History Ancient Greece Greek Mythology Mythology Adventure History For Kids Kids Literature Myths For Children

This book was required reading for my son. Since he has tires easily while reading long chapters, I try to get all his novels on CD or audiofiles. He loves mythology, and he loved this book and the narration of the performer. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes mythology.

Great for Mythology Fans!
