Errores Longi Ulixis, Pars I

After ten years of war the Greeks have finally conquered Troy and are ready to sail home.

Their actions following the victory, however, have angered Neptune and Minerva. And Odysseus (Ulysses), Eurylochus, and Elpenor are about to learn that angry gods and goddesses can change a brief cruise across the Mediterranean into a long adventure as they wander through unknown lands filled with strange fruit, cannibals, and giants.

Written for novice and intermediate Latin readers, this novella is based on Homer’s epic poem about Odysseus and his long journey home from the Trojan War.
