 In Greek mythology, brave Odysseus ruled the kingdom of Ithaca with his clever and beautiful queen, Penelope. After leading his troops to victory in the Trojan War, this revered hero begins a long and treacherous journey home, an "odyssey" recounted in Homer's epic poem of the same name. In The Journeys of Odysseus, students discover how Odysseus learns to overcome adversity, and his own weaknesses, in his adventures with the dreaded Cyclops, the mischievous Circe and a terrifying sea creature known as the Scylla to find his way back home to his kingdom and family. Part of the multivolume Greek Mythology for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
