- "The Trojan War is over, and Odysseus longs to return to wife and son on his island kingdom of Ithaca. But between hero and home stands an array of dangers unlike any ever faced by mortal man. 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."
- "Grade 4?8?Geraldine McCaughrean's retelling (Cricket Books, 2004) of Homer's epic made the tale accessible to young people, and this fine full-cast audio production takes it a step further. Odysseus, the hero of conquered Troy, leaves for his home with 600 men and 12 ships. His long-suffering wife Penelope and young son wait faithfully for his return, but many are whispering that Odysseus is dead and the Queen should choose a new husband to rule. While crossing the vast sea, Odysseus and his men come face to face with Polyphemus, son of Poseidon and a Cyclops to boot. During their escape, Odysseus blinds Polythemus and enrages Poseidon, god of the sea?not a good idea when you're trying to get home by ship. Poseidon takes his revenge and Odysseus and crew face sirens, enchantresses, and a trip through Hades. McCaughrean's language is lyrical and the action and suspense will fascinate young listeners. Narrator Cynthia Bishop establishes an exciting pace, and the full-cast voicing makes the many characters easily recognizable to listeners."@en
