Chasing Odysseus [electronic resource]
Gentill, Sulari2026
eBook
Four young heroes in a quest for truth. Myth, magic . . . and betrayal. The Herdsmen of Ida hold a sacred trust. It is they who have fed the citizens of Troy through all the years of the siege, via the tunnels beneath the citadel walls. Now Troy has fallen, and the Herdsmen are accused of betrayal. Desperate to free their people from the mark of treachery, weak-eyed Hero and her beloved brothers chase Odysseus, wily strategist of the Greeks, in search of the truth. But the path of Odysseus is plagued with misfortune and peril, and it is through this that they must travel to confront the Sacker of Troy and reinstate the honor of the Herdsmen. 'In S.D. Gentill's retelling of The Odyssey, Homer's hero takes a back seat for the ride as literature's most famous journey is transformed into a gripping fantasy-adventure series ... With its easy-reading style, conventional narrative pacing, running ironic commentary and strong female protagonist, Gentill succeeds in bringing Homer's ancient tale to life for a modern audience.'
