Marvellous Myths Series by Tony Robinson, Richard Curtis

Everyone's heard the Greek myths about the wooden horse of Troy and the beautiful Helen, whose face launched a thousand ships to war. This is the story as Odysseus saw it - from the moment he first met Helen to the day he left the city burning to the ground - with all the fighting in between.

Odysseus hasn't seen his wife for years - now, at last, he's on his way home. But his adventures are far from over. First he must outwit the one-eyed Cyclops and escape from the enchantress Circe, be guided by ghosts through the Land of the Dead and ignore the sweet sounds of the deadly Sirens.
