Odysseus faces storm and shipwreck, a terrifying man-eating Cyclops, the alluring but deadly Sirens, and the fury of the sea-god Poseidon as he makes his ten-year journey home from the Trojan War. While Odysseus struggles to make it home, his wife, Penelope, fights a different kind of battle as her palace is invaded by forceful, greedy men who tell her that Odysseus is dead and she must choose a new husband. Will Odysseus reach her in time? Homer's epic, age-old story is powerfully told by Carnegie Medalist Gillian Cross and stunningly illustrated by rising talent Neil Packer. Review: Just lovely - great family reading - Odysseus is the best Greek hero. If you don't know who he was (and why should you?) and don't want to read the full 'Odyssey of Homer' - he was the cleverest, most ruthless and impressive of all the Greek heroes. And the stories are great. I can remember reading the Odyssy at school and thinking it was as dull as dishwater - this is'nt dull. The illustrations are interesting - not eye-poppingly colourful like e.g. the Usborne Book of Greek Myth but take their pallet from Greek Art - muted but gorgeous and I suppose, more educational because of that (not a concern for me). This has been family bed-time reading for my 9 and 11 year old (yes, the 11 year old is interested) and is suitable for kids a lot below that age too. Recommended. Review: Amazing! - I can't believe how great this book is. I've never read the full length version, so can't compare, but I bought this for my 5 1/2 year old son for Christmas and we're both gripped. What an incredible story?! And the illustrations are fabulous! There are bits of the story that are really very scary, especially for a 5 1/2 year old, but it is paced such that these bits are usually quickly followed by a few pages of (temporary and short lived) resolution and peace, so you CAN eventually get your kid to sleep. If you can bear to stop reading yourself. Amazing. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,750,357 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 511 in Greek & Roman Tales & Myths for Children 3,751 in Dragons, Unicorns & Mythical Creatures Tales for Children 7,104 in Classics for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 222 Reviews | ## Images ![The Odyssey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dePHr7eDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just lovely - great family reading *by H***B on 25 November 2012* Odysseus is the best Greek hero.

An attractive intrduction to Clasical Myths. The illustrations are refreshingly good and reflect the ancient Greek art beautifuly. Nothing lost in the retelling and nothing to patronise the younger reader or indeed the adult who may read it to child or even themselves. Loved it and know my Grandson will too. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Odyssey - Ramayana: Divine Loophole - Blood on the River: James Town, 1607 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/228726663-the-odyssey](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/228726663-the-odyssey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
