Homer's Odyssey, predating the invention of writing in ancient Greece, is revived in this stunning 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Encounter the one-eyed Cyclops, who feasts on the flesh of men; bewitching women, who charm with songs and spells; and meddling gods and goddesses, who shape the hero's fate.
Follow Odysseus's journey using the accompanying concertina, exploring twenty key scenes. Daisy Dunn's text will ignite new interest in one of the world's oldest and greatest poems. Get ready for a modern take on this ancient masterpiece.
The illustrators know the story inside out and have included countless clever details. For instance, Penelope's pesky suitors are formed from the threads of her loom.
Greek mythology is as popular as ever, with the trend for modern retellings continuing to grow.
Daisy Dunn's text is concise and engaging, making it a family-friendly introduction to Homer's epic poem.
