"The Adventures of Odysseus & the Tale of Troy" encompasses two of Homer's greatest epics: "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." These timeless tales follow the Trojan War's heroic battles and the epic journey home of Odysseus, a cunning warrior. After the Greeks' victory in Troy, Odysseus faces numerous trials, including vengeful gods, mythical creatures, and temptations that delay his return to Ithaca. Meanwhile, "The Iliad" focuses on honor, glory, and the devastating consequences of war, highlighting the fierce pride and wrath of Achilles. Together, these stories explore themes of loyalty, perseverance, and the complexity of human nature amidst epic adventure. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

William Andrew ("Willy") Pogany (August 1882-July 30, 1955) was a prolific Hungarian illustrator of children's and other books. Padraic 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 The Children of Odin and The Golden Fleece (a Newbery Honor Book). "Homer" is the name given to the author or authors of the ancient Greek epic poems "Iliad" and "Odyssey", and could represent a single man who lived sometime between 800 and 900 B. C. , or it could represent a group of poets who collaborated on these major works. THANOS TSILIS was born in Athens in 1977, and studied graphic arts, illustration and animation. Most of his work has been in illustration, though in 2002 he also started working for animated films. From 2005 to 2008 he worked for Total Eclipse Games, and since then has worked mostly as a concept artist for advertising and digital entertainment. BEATRICE SAMPATAKOU is one of Greece's best-known retellers of Greek mythology, and has written the stories of the gods and goddesses of her literary tradition for all levels of readers. Her Greek-language versions of the Iliad and Odyssey are the standard versions used in Greek schools.
