Easy Retelling of Iliad and Odyssey submitted by hiker15 on October 19, 2022, 2:22pm Have you ever wanted to know the story of the Iliad and the Odyssey but the books were too difficult to read? This author uses the stories in various original sources to put together a book that tells the stories, but taking pieces from here and there in short chapters that are very readable.

The best thing is at the front of the book there is a listing of the cast of characters telling who each person is and there relation to the other characters. This book is an excellent read!
