The Iliad and the Odyssey Return in an Edition Designed to Bring Homer Closer to Young Readers

The two great epics attributed to Homer, The Iliad and The Odyssey, return in a new edition aimed at young readers. The book features text by Gillian Cross and illustrations by Neil Packer, who drew inspiration from Greek pottery to create the images that accompany the narrative. The goal of this adaptation is to bring children and young people closer to Homer, making reading more accessible. At the same time, it seeks to preserve the strength of the original stories, maintaining the essence of the classical epics.
