‘I am Odysseus, hero of Troy.'

The ancient Greek epic, retold for young readers. After ten years of war, Odysseus turns his back on Troy and sets sail for home, eager to be reunited with his wife and son. But the voyage is long and dangerous, plagued by strange magic, monstrous enemies – like Polyphemus the greedy one-eyed giant and Scylla the six-headed sea monster – and the wrath of the gods themselves. Can Odysseus rise to the challenge?
