Alfred Church's beloved Odyssey retelling for readers of all ages, updated with over 20 color works of art.

The sequel to The Iliad, Homer's Odyssey is one of classic literature's grand adventures. For over a century, Rev. Alfred J. Church's 1906 retelling remains a popular choice to introduce readers of all ages to this classic tale.

Ancient Greek hero Odysseus, or Ulysses, journeys home to Ithaca from the Trojan War, but must endure trials of epic proportions. With his wit, and favor from the goddess Athena, he survives storms, shipwreck, immortal enemies and hairbreadth escapes.His final challenge lies in Ithaca, where faithful Penelope awaits with his son Telemachus, but traitorous suitors threaten his kingdom. On his journey, readers will meet the Cyclops, Sirens, Circe, Calypso, Posiedon and more.

Homer's epic tale comes to life with full color classic paintings from John William Waterhouse, Arnold Bocklin, Angelica Kauffmann, Briton Riviere and more, as well as John Flaxman's delightful illustrations from early editions of this book.

As with all Nourished Upon Ideas titles, this edition carefully preserves the author's complete and unabridged text, and artwork has been carefully selected to be suitable for all ages.
