Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
From master storyteller Padriac Colum, winner of a Newbery Honor for The Golden Fleece, comes a collection of fifteen timeless stories inspired by classic Greek literature.
Travel back to a mythical time when Achilles, aided by the gods, waged war against the Trojans. And join Odysseus on his journey through murky waters, facing obstacles like the terrifying Scylla and whirring Charybdis, the beautiful enchantress Circe, and the land of the raging Cyclôpes. Using narrative threads from The Iliad and The Odyssey, Padraic Colum weaves a stunning adventure with all the drama and power that Homer intended.

“I read this long before reading The Odyssey. The story was told and it was slightly easier to understand, but I didn’t like it. I read this in 7th or 8th grade for some “gifted” class I had to take, and I remember hating the entire book.”
