The Ancient Greece of Odysseus (The Ancient World) - Softcover

The book is well produced on good quality paper, and the different typesets are all easy to read. Peter Connolly has produced a wide range of illustrations. (David Priest, Highgate School, JACT Review)

...a vivid reconstruction by a craftsman who knows better than anyone how to bring the ancient world to life. (The Guardian)

A marvellous, superbly illustrated retelling of two great epics - Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, following the fortunes of Odysseus, the craftiest of the Greek commanders. Interspersed with the story are pages of fascinating information about the true history of Troy, illustrated with photographs, maps, and Peter Connolly's unequalled reconstructions. Together, the two parts add up to more than the whole, and bring Homer's epics triumphantly to life. First published as The Legend of Odysseus, this book, which won the T.E.S. Information Book Award, is now reissued with a new title.
