Paris, Helen of Troy, Achilles, Hector, Ulysses, the Amazons and the Wooden Horse all figure in this magical introduction to one of the greatest legends ever told. Also included in this book are the adventures of Theseus and his dramatic battle with the Minotaur with the help of Ariadne, and the quest of Jason for the Golden Fleece with the help of the Princess Medea.

Customer Reviews
A wonderful find - great for the very young Homer reader!
Very easy reading style, but which preserves some of the high Homeric style. The stories have 'glosses' sometimes to help young children understand motivation, and that I particularly liked. I much prefer the writing to 'Black Ships before Troy', which is much more popular, yet very stolid prose. Tales include Iliad, Odyssey, Perseus, Theseus and Jason, etc. Highly recommended.
