About this book
View more文學 > 世界文學
The Tale of Troy is an ancient Greece myth about honour, friendship, cleverness, and the terrible price of pride and war. For ten years, a war has raged around the walls of Troy, all because of a golden apple, a jealous goddess, and the most beautiful woman in the world. Now the fighting has ended — but Odysseus, King of Ithaka, has never come home. His son Telemachus, desperate for answers, sets sail across the sea to learn his father's fate. What he discovers is a story of pride and glory, of the mighty Achilles and noble Hector, and his father’s sharp wit. Gods walk among mortals, heroes rise and fall, and one trick may decide the fate of an entire city.
About the author(s)
View moreHomer
The Odyssey was first told almost three thousand years ago in ancient Greece and is credited to a poet named Homer. Almost nothing certain is known about him. He was described as a blind bard, travelling from town to town and singing his tales aloud to gathered crowds. Based on Homer's ancient epic and Padraic Colum's retelling in the early 20th century, this abridged and simplified edition by Enrich Spot brings one of the world's greatest adventures to life for today's readers.
