  A Myth About A Famous Warrior
Reece of Washougal, 8/27/2016
This book is about the famous warrior Odysseus and the war of Troy. I like how the writer puts the two books into one. In this book Odysseus goes through many troubles to get home. But, when he gets there there's a bunch of men trying to marry his wife because they think he's dead. He and his son kill all the men. I would suggest this book to people who like ancient Greek legends and history.
