by Roger Lancelyn Green; with contributions by Michelle Paver
The story of Helen and the judgement of Paris, of the gathering Heroes and the seige of Troy; of Achilles and his vulnerable heel, reared by the Centaur on wild honey and the marrow of lions; of Odysseus, the last of the Heroes, his plan for the wooden Horse and his many adventures on his long journey home to Greece. With a beautiful introduction by best-selling author Michelle Paver, and additional endmatter including an author profile, who's who, activities, glossary and more.
Recommended by the publisher for young readers 10 years of age and up.
Softcover, 224 pages.

★ "Had long been searching for an edition of Odyssey and Iliad together. This book does it perfectly. R.L. Green is my fav when it comes to mythology. simply superb writing and short and crisp text makes me love this book even more." ~ Adhithya K
★ "A simple, yet a very detailed and gripping retelling of one of the most famous epics of western civilization. It's perfect for someone who doesn't have much background information on Ancient Greece, but who wish to know the story with authenticity.
It is also completely accurate and unlike the falsifications made by the movies released recently, is completely true to the original work by Homer in his "Iliad" and "Odyessy", as well as Virgil's "Aeneid". A worthy addition to any collection." ~ Sidharth Abhishek
