The adventures of Ulysses are very interesting. It’s fiction - mixed with reality - the life of a greek sailor thousands of years ago. I liked the book because it isn’t exactly scary, it just has you at the edge of your seat. It’s so good that you forget you're only reading it, you aren’t in it.
But let me tell you about the book in a not-endlessly-going-on-and-on-with-detail sort of way. This book is about a warrior (Ulysses) and his 150 men sailing back to Ithaca, their home. On the way he upsets the greek god Posiedon and he makes the voyage as difficult as possible, hence why it took Ulysses ten years to get back, losing all of his men.
One island after another Ulysses stops at many islands and places where he gains and loses plenty. It was his sailors that held him back for ten years, not realizing it. This book has it’s messages: independence of mind, not letting people get in your head, loyalty to your elders, (the Captain) and so on. Only so many people will catch these messages throughout.
In conclusion, The Adventures of Ulysses is one of the best books of ancient history. I enjoyed it, and I don’t doubt you will too. Thank you for reading!
