About this book

Odysseus as a boy and young man is the hero of this retelling by James Baldwin. Gathering the legends behind the Trojan war into one continuous narrative, he stops at the point where Homer's Iliad begins, and along the way repeats some of the best-known Greek myths.

Baldwin writes to young readers, saying he hopes the book will prepare them to enjoy Homer himself in translation or in the original. The 1927 New York edition carries illustrations by Howard Pyle, among them a scene of Pyrrhus finding Philoctetes in a cave, and bears the series title Heroes of the Olden Time.
