The Illustrated Odyssey

*Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy…* So starts Homer's *The Odyssey*, the classic account of the Greek hero Odysseus and his ten-year journey home, following the glories and horrors of the Trojan War as recounted in *The Illiad*. In this prose retelling of Homer's epic poem, we follow Homer and his shipmates as they weather one danger after another, from the sorceress Circe to the one-eyed Cyclops, and the six-headed monster Scylla. Replete with classic drawings and colorful illustrations, this beautiful new edition of *The Odyssey* is just as gripping to read now as when it was first told to rapt Greek audiences 2,500 years ago.
