Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Odysseus and his men put out to sea in twelve ships of fifty oars, their white sails unfurled and their blue-painted prows thrusting through the waves as the wind filled the sails: nigh on sixty men on board each ship. And the heart of every man was happy as he thought how at last, after ten weary years of battle, he would once again see Ithaca, which was his home."^R^L Skillfully retold as clear, unencumbered narratives while retaining the dignity and excitment of Homer's original epic poems,

5.0 out of 5 stars Good story, January 20, 2000
By C. Sahu "Cathy Sahu" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very readable (as in smooth-flowing and fun to read) story (as in adventure, with lots of drama and excitement).

A warning: as stated above, this is a young adult version - still good for grown-ups, but not a translation of the original. I notice that 2 of the comments below are not based on this book, but on other versions of the Iliad.
