Now, years later, Telemachus is a man, and his father still has not returned. To bring his father home--or at least learn of his fate--Telemachus embarks on a journey of his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he follows in his father's footsteps, Telemachus undercovers an epic tale of a perilous sea voyage threatened by the man-eating monster Scylla and the raging whirlpool Charybdis, a respite on the island of the beautiful enchantress Circe, and a standoff with the imposing Cyclôpes Polyphemus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOdysseus wasn't the only soldier in the Trojan War to tangle with mythological forces. Greek warrior Achilles prayed for and received aide from Zeus and, eventually, wore armor forged by Hephaestus while the Trojan prince Hector drew the attention of Athena and Apollo. Tangled allegiances, otherworldly threats, and ruthless warfare make the story of the war unforgettable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing narrative threads from \u003ci\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, Padraic Colum weaves a stunning adventure with all the drama and power Homer intended.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePadraic Colum (1881-1972) was a poet, a playwright, and a leader of the Irish Renaissance, but he is best known for his works for children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Children of Odin\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Fleece\u003c\/i\u003e (a Newbery Honor Book). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Andrew (\"Willy\") Pogany (1882-1955) was a prolific Hungarian illustrator of children's and other books.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 247\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Children's Homer\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45780205928645,"sku":"9780689868832","price":18.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/d5XNAbTj1s9780689868832.webp?v=1781272783","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-childrens-homer-the-adventures-of-odysseus-and-the-tale-of-troy-paperback-9","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
