About this listen

The most powerful men in the world were all together in a circle in the middle of the room. Drawing their daggers, they cut their right hands and, above the pile of gold, swore Odysseus’ vow: Helen could marry whom she liked, and the Princes would defend them both…. Everyone’s heard of the wooden horse of Troy, and of the beauty of Helen. Well this is the story as Odysseus saw it, from his boyhood in Ithaca to his participation in the bloody Trojan war itself.

Absolutly loved it. Robinson and Curtis bring a level of humour and realness to an ancient classic which makes it all that more accessible to impatient youngsters. I enjoyed it, not as a youngster, but as an adult who is very familiar with the original story. Had me chuckling away.

Best adaptation of a classic

I was thrilled to find this wonderfully narrated story from my childhood on audible.



Tony Robinson and Richard curtis put their own wonderful humour into the timeless tale of Homer's Illiad. A must listen for every young boy on a long car journey, with enough entertainment to keep all ears glued to the stereo.



Worth every penny.

Although Tony Robinson is an annoying Blairite pratt you can’t fault his story telling. This is a really engaging tale and he narrates it brilliantly!

I read this book as a child and was thrilled to find it on Audible. I have now passed it on to my daughter and I hope she gets as much enjoyment from it as I did. This book spawned my love of Greek Mythology. Tony Robinson is a genius! Fantastic!

A fantastic introduction to Greek Mythology
