Summary: "In Greek mythology, brave Odysseus ruled the kingdom of Ithaca with his clever and beautiful queen Penelope. After leading his troops to victory in the Trojan War, this revered hero began a long and treacherous journey home--an "odyssey" recounted in Homer's epic poem of the same name. In The Journeys of Odysseus, students discover how Odysseus learned to overcome adversity and his own weaknesses in his adventures with the dreaded Cyclops, the mischievious Circe and a terrifying sea creature known as the Scylla to find his way back home to his kingdom and family."--Container.
