Excerpt

On his epic voyage--an adventure so grand and glorious it has become the very symbol for all great journeys--Odysseus must face the monstrous cyclops, escape the enchanting nymph Circe, defy the terrors of Scylla and Charybdis, and descend to the land of the dead. Even home is not safe, for there Odysseus must triumph in one last battle to be reunited with his loving wife.
