The Odyssey
Adapted by Gregory A. Falls and Kurt Beattie
The war was finally over. Greeks had been laying siege to the city of Troy for nine long years, but suddenly, without warning, their whole army had departed, leaving nothing behind but a large wooden horse. That night, while the Trojans slept, Odysseus and his men emerged from the horse's belly. Opening the city gates, they admitted their comrades, who had snuck back in the dark. Troy was sacked and the Trojans utterly vanquished. Now it was time for Odysseus and his fellow warriors to return to their kingdoms across the sea. Here begins the tale of the Odyssey, as sung by the blind minstrel Homer . . .
