Homer's Odyssey by Malcolm V. Jones
A sweeping epic that follows the cunning hero Odysseus as he endures a decade of perilous voyages trying to reach his home and family after the Trojan War, confronting monsters and sorcery—Polyphemus the Cyclops, the enchantress who turns men to swine, the seductive Sirens—and even descending to the underworld; meanwhile his faithful wife and son fend off unruly suitors at home, testing themes of loyalty, hospitality, identity, and the tension between fate and human cunning, culminating in a tense, violent return and the restoration of order.
