Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Odysseus the Hero of Ithaca: Adapted From the Third Book of the Primary Schools of Athens, Greece
IT has long been the opinion of many of the more progressive teachers of the United States that, next to Herakles, Odysseus is the hero closest to child-life, and that the stories from the Odyssey are the most suitable for reading lessons. These conclusions have been reached through independent experiments not related to educational work in foreign countries.
