The Tales From The Odyssey series by Mary Pope Osborne retells the story of Homer’s Odyssey for younger readers. Published between 2002 and 2004, the seven-book series breaks the ancient Greek epic into shorter, more accessible volumes. Each book covers a portion of Odysseus’s long journey home after the Trojan War, from encounters with the Cyclops to the final battle in Ithaca.
Osborne is best known for the Magic Tree House series, and her approach to the Odyssey follows a similar philosophy of making classic stories engaging for children. The titles, such as The One-Eyed Giant and Sirens and Sea Monsters, immediately signal the adventure content inside. The series is a popular choice for introducing young readers to Greek mythology.
