Paperback
Journey into the legendary world of ancient heroes, epic battles, sea monsters, and wandering kings with this exciting classic mythology bundle featuring The Aeneid for Boys and Girls and The Children’s Homer.
Perfect for middle grade readers and families exploring the great epics of Greece and Rome, these beautifully written adaptations introduce young readers to the timeless adventures that shaped Western literature and imagination.
In The Aeneid for Boys and Girls, readers follow the courageous Trojan hero Aeneas as he escapes the burning city of Troy and journeys across the Mediterranean in search of a new homeland. Along the way he faces storms, battles, and great trials before finally arriving in Italy, where his destiny — and the future founding of Rome — awaits.
In The Children’s Homer by Newbery Honor-winning author Padraic Colum, the thrilling stories of The Iliad and The Odyssey are retold in vivid, accessible prose. Readers encounter the bravery of Achilles, the wisdom and endurance of Odysseus, the loyalty of Telemachus, and unforgettable mythological creatures including Cyclopes, Circe, Scylla, and Charybdis.
Together, these volumes offer:
A rich introduction to classical literature and mythology
Accessible retellings ideal for middle grade readers
Exciting adventures filled with heroism and virtue
Excellent preparation for later reading of Homer and Virgil
A perfect companion for homeschool studies of Greece and Rome
Filled with danger, wonder, noble characters, and timeless themes of courage and perseverance, this bundle is an inspiring addition to any family or homeschool library — especially for readers who love epic adventures like Percy Jackson but are ready to discover the original classics behind the myths.
