Abstract:
A retelling of the events of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Travel back to a mythical time when Achilles, aided by the gods, waged war against the Trojans. and join Odysseus on his journey through murky waters, facing obstacles like the terrifying scylla and whirring charybdis, the beautiful enchantress Circe, and the land of the raging cyclopes. Using narrative threads from the Iliad and the Odyssey, Padraic Colum weaves a stunning adventure with all the drama and power that Homer intended.
