_Sources for the story teller:_

Homer. Odyssey; tr. by W.C. Bryant.

Parts read or recited from this straightforward, dignified
translation in blank verse will be appreciated by children.

Homer. Odyssey; done into English prose by Butcher and Lang.

Homer; tr. by G.H. Palmer.

Both the above are accepted classic prose translations.
The prose of Palmer is so direct, simple and rhythmic that
a twelve-year-old child can enjoy it. Butcher and Lang
use an older English style in the endeavor to make the
translation an accurate historical document. The archaic
language with its somewhat involved phrasing is confusing
to children and makes it less readable than the Palmer
translation.

This book is for boys and girls to read for themselves.
So much of the Homeric spirit is retained and it is so well
done that it will be very suggestive in organizing and preparing
stories from the Odyssey for oral rendition.
