Odiseja: Odisejeve pustolovine
Stelio Martelli
A retelling, shortened, simplified, and adapted for children of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey." After ten years of war at Troy, many Greek soldiers and generals wandered and disappeared.
In this book, through 24 illustrated stories, Odysseus' adventurous journey by sea, full of dangers and difficulties, and his return to his native Ithaca are described.
The story was originally published in the collection of Croatian folk stories from Vojvodina "To the sky", which was collected and edited by Balint Vujkov, under the title Wise Shepherd, and narrated by Miško Zelić Kaćmar.
