Charles Lamb 
The Adventures of Ulysses 

‘The Adventures of Ulysses’ by Charles Lamb is an adaptation for children of Homer’s ancient Greek epic poem The Odyssey. Ulysses’ harrowing journey home after the Trojan war is written in an accessible and age-appropriate way to allow children to become familiar with this important piece of literature and history. This abridged version of the epic is still a useful tool to help students who find it difficult to read the original translation get a better understanding of the tale.
