y separately published work icon Chasing Odysseus Sulari Gentill , Seaforth : Pantera Press , 2011 Z1732234 2011 single work novel young adult fantasy

'Chasing Odysseus is an alternative telling of both the Iliad and the Odyssey. The story pulls together the tales of Homer and the Greek mythology against which the great bard told those tales. It answers the question of how the Trojans survived a ten year siege behind the walls of the citadel, by using the actual myth of Agelaus the herdsman to create a forgotten people, the Herdsmen of Mount Ida. Chasing Odysseus weaves into the Odyssey - it does not contradict Homer but provides another story within the Greek epic.'

'... Monsters from classical myth have been lurking in the gullies of Western literature for a long time – in retellings and adaptations, and acting as symbols and metaphors for aspects of the human experience.'

'They’ve been surfacing recently in fantasy for children and young adults. Imaginary Medusas, realistically drawn Minotaurs, as well as a multitude of many-headed Scyllas, Hydras and Cerberuses: they all appear in Australian children’s and YA fiction. ...'
