Homer children's book


The Children's Homer - Homer in Print

Homer was a staple of the schoolroom in antiquity, used to teach reading, grammar, and rhetoric. Despite concerns on the part of early Christians about teaching the works of pagan authors, allegorical interpretations made it possible to extract moral and ethical lessons from Homeric myth and assured survival of the texts into the modern era.

As attitudes toward childhood began to change, a new genre of books written for children began to emerge. Designed to entertain and delight – as well as instruct – these often drew on folktales and mythology, The Iliadand the Odyssey became popular sources of stories that would appeal to children's love of adventure, heroic characters, and myths: the Abbé Fénelon's Les Avantures de Télémaque fils d'Ulysse  (1699) was so successful that it was translated into English the following year.

Children's book publishing expanded rapidly in eighteenth-century England, stimulated by changes in the book trade and a growing middle class. Writers of moral tales – many of them women – emphasized religious and didactic principles including patience, perseverance, reason and prudence, hard work, and self-improvement, while Romantic authors encouraged stories – folk legends, myths, and ballads -- that stimulated a child's imaginative faculties. Charles Lamb's Adventures of Ulysses, published in 1808, is typical of the liberties taken to condense and self-censor such tales to eliminate descriptions and behaviors unsuitable for children.

Retellings and adaptations of classic literature for children remain a staple of the industry. Versions of the Iliadand the Odyssey have been produced in handsome editions, comic books, and pop-up books, by noted authors for both children and adults. Illustrations -- always an essential element of the overall design and conception in children's books -- plot abridgement, and character simplification all help focus attention on the action, ensure the enduring appeal of the stories to children of all ages and all eras.

Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

The Adventures of Ulysses
London: Groombridge and Sons, 1857.

This history tells of the wanderings of Ulysses and his
followers in their return from Troy, after the destruction
of that famous city of Asia by the Grecians.


The Adventures of Ulysses, first published in 1808 by William Godwin, was based on Chapman's Odyssey, which Lamb admired above all other translations. He turned it into prose, simplified the order of the narrative, abbreviated or combined episodes, and deleted descriptions and whole books in order to present Ulysses as an unblemished hero and eliminate anything inappropriate for young readers.

Padraic Colum (1881–1972)

The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy. . . .
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1918.
Illustrated by Willy Pogány.

This is the story of Odysseus, the most renowned of
all the heroes the Greek poets have told us of—of
Odysseus, his wars and his wanderings.


Irish poet and playwright Padraic Colum wrote a number of children's books over the course of his career. Colum's poetry draws on oral folk tradition and displays his talents as a storyteller, as does his successful adaptations of the classics and mythology. The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale of Troy, which combines the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey in one volume, has the spine title "The Children's Homer" and illustrations by Hungarian book illustrator Willy Pogány, who also illustrated Colum's 1916 children's novel, The King Of Ireland's Son.

Barbara Leonie Picard

The Odyssey of Homer Retold. . . .
London: Oxford University Press, Geoffrey Cumberlege, 1952.

After their ten-year-long war with the men of Troy
was ended and the Trojan city had fallen in flames
and smoke, the victorious Greeks gathered together
their booty and their prisoners


British children's book author Barbara Leonie Picard wrote original fairy, tales, historical fiction and medieval legends that were all meticulously researched. Picard's Odyssey, admired by Robert Graves, has been reprinted in many editions and now forms part of the Oxford Myths and Legends Series, along with her Iliad and her numerous other retellings of ancient mythology.

Homer's Iliad

New York: Gilberton Company, 1950. Classics Illustrated, no. 77.
Illustrated by Alex A. Blum.
Walter C. Dopierala Comic Book Collection.

This is the story
Of the Grecian-
Trojan War, with
Its gods and heroes


Hungarian-born comic book artist Alex Blum illustrated many titles in the Classics Illustrated series, which was started by Albert Lewis Kanter to introduce children to "great literature" through versions of the classics. A statement following "The End" reminds readers, "Now that you have read the Classics Illustrated edition, don't miss the added enjoyment of reading the original, obtainable at your school or public library."

Roy Thomas (1940- )

The Iliad
New York: Marvel, 2008.
Illustrations by Miguel Angel Sepulveda. Cover by Paolo Rivera.
Regenstein Library, General Collections.

And a woman
Was born ... Helen
Daughter to Tyndareus,
King of Sparta ...
And a marvel to men.


This volume brings together eight issues originally published asMarvel Illustrated: The Iliad #1-8. In his introduction comic book writer and Marvel Comics editor Roy Thomas describes his experience reading the Classics Illustrated version of the Iliadwhen he was ten, which instilled in him "a desire to read the original." Thomas went on to read Samuel Butler's, Pope's, Lattimore's, Fitzgerald's, and Fagles's translations, declaring that "The Iliad became my favorite work of literature, rivaled only by a modern day 'war novel,' Joseph Heller's masterpiece Catch 22. "

Jane Werner Watson (1915- )

The Iliad and the Odyssey, the Heroic Story of the Trojan War [and] the Fabulous Adventures of Odysseus
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1956. The Golden Library.
Illustrations by Alice and Martin Provensen.
Historical Children's Book Collection.

This is the story of the Trojan War, and how
upon the plains washed by the Aegean Sea,
the Greeks won Helen back and punished
Troy.


Alice and Martin Provensen collaborated on over forty children's books, including many classic tales, stories by Margaret Wise Brown and other noted children's book authors, and books they both wrote and illustrated. The warm tones and soft textures of the designs in this book characterize many of their works. The Provensens are recognized as among the most distinguished twentieth-century illustrators of children's picture books and many of their works remain in print today.

Sam Ita

The Odyssey, A Pop-up Book
New York: Sterling Publishing, 2011.
Historical Children's Book Collection.

Penelope, Queen of
Ithaca, and her
Suitors listen to songs
Of the Trojan War.


One of the striking spreads in Sam Ita's pop-up Odyssey brings readers inside the Trojan horse, and pull-tabs take out Polyphemus's eye and turn a man into a pig. The dialogue is often humorous: in response to Penelope's question about his long absence, Odysseus remarks, "Well, sweetheart, it's an awfully long story."

Once upon a time something inexplicable happened in the world: people hid in mysterious black boxes and refused to come out of them until better times came.

Cities are overgrown with forests, wild animals have begun to prowl in former supermarkets. Only a handful of children and a mysterious old woman remain, trying to solve the riddle. What happened to the world?! The search for an answer makes them turn to the events of the distant past, more like a legend or a wonderful fairy tale. What is time?

Its current is destructive for people and cities - or, on the contrary, is it necessary, like oxygen? If a magical way to escape from the inexorable time is suddenly found - what will it turn out to be for an individual, for a country, for the whole world? To answer all these questions - at first glance childish, but, in fact, extremely deep and philosophical - you need to listen to the end of the story of the princess of the fabulous country of Pangea and penetrate into her secret ...

Stephen Hawking is a famous British physicist and one of the most famous scientists in the world. In his youth, he fell ill with lateral sclerosis. This severe incurable illness gradually immobilized Stephen. Doctors thought that he was unlikely to last another couple of years.

But, despite his illness and paralysis, Stephen Hawking was actively engaged in science and made discoveries until his death. He joked and argued with colleagues, traveled and even experienced weightlessness.

Those who make us better: 13 animals that helped me understand life / Cy Montgomery; translation from English by N. Narcissova. - Moscow: Alpina non-fiction, 2020. - 185 p. : phot., ill. ; 21 cm. - Header. and ed. original: How to Be a Good Creature / Sy Montgomery. - 12+.

Through the pages of this book, you will get to know 13 animals that Sai has met in her life as a naturalist writer. She had worked with a team of scientists who radio-tagged tree-kangaroos in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea; look for traces of snow leopards in the Mongolian Altai; swim with piranhas and electric eels in the Amazon. Therefore, the heroes of the book are not only familiar pets, but also rare exotic ones. One thing unites them all: meeting each of them changed Sai's life, taught her an important lesson.

What can animals teach us? Selfless love, courage, the ability to enjoy every day and the knowledge that one should never despair, even when life seems hopeless. Because you have no idea what might happen next. Or maybe something wonderful is waiting for you right around the corner.
