Books with author Bernard Evslin

Ulysses escaped the Cyclops, a horrible one-eyed killer, but ahead lie greater dangers--more terrifying monsters... Circe--the beautiful witch who turns men into pigs; The Tree Monsters--cannibal giants that look like trees; The Sirens--hideous bird-women who lure sailors to their death; Scylla--an enormous spider with 12 legs and 6 heads--and a wild greed for human flesh! Ulysses conquers every one. Then he returns home--to fight the fiercest battle of all!

A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution“These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.
