It is not as easy to relate to Achilles, half-divine and invulnerable aside from his heel, or Agamemnon, willing to sacrifice his daughter based on a prophet’s advice and a vow he has made. Interesting charge at the end: "Dreams and visions come through two gates: either through a gate of ivory or through a gate of horn. This is a mate to Arthur of Albion and a part of their series of chapter books, which contains the two books so far.

Absolutely gorgeous illustrations accompanying a text that is simplified for children, yet still enchanting. It is easy to taste the lotus blossoms to feel happy and wish to stay forever, to sit feet of the singing Sirens, and to stay in beauty and luxury with Circe.

They promise to give him safe passage to Ithaca, but first they beg to hear the story of his adventures.When Polyphemus screams, he says that "No One" is attacking him, so his fellow cyclopes do not come to his rescue. She gives him a raft but it is soon destroyed by Poseidon, who is still angry with him because of the death of his cyclops son. I love how this abridged version of the Odyssey is pretty simple, but very informative and perfect for the age it is written for. The crew get close to Ithaca, but while Odysseus sleeps, they open the bag of winds and are flown back towards Aeolia.
