Publisher's Synopsis
The Siege of Troy and the Wanderings of Ulysses is a book written by Charles Henry Hanson. It is a retelling of the famous Greek mythological stories of the Trojan War and the journey of the hero Ulysses. The book begins with the story of the Trojan War, which was fought between the Greeks and the Trojans. The war lasted for ten years, and the Greeks finally won by using a clever trick in which they built a large wooden horse and hid soldiers inside it. The Trojans, thinking it was a gift, brought it into their city, and the Greek soldiers emerged from inside and defeated the Trojans.The second part of the book tells the story of Ulysses, who was the king of Ithaca and one of the Greek heroes in the Trojan War. After the war, Ulysses embarked on a long journey back home, which took him ten years. During this time, he faced many challenges and obstacles, including encountering mythical creatures like the Cyclops, the Sirens, and the Scylla and Charybdis. He also had to deal with the wrath of the gods, who were angry with him for blinding the Cyclops.Despite all these challenges, Ulysses persevered and finally made it back home to Ithaca, where he was reunited with his wife and son.
