Après Le feuilleton d'Hermès, Murielle Szac invite les enfants à se replonger dans la mythologie grecque en suivant le personnage de Thésée. En 100 épisodes, le jeune héros grandit et se construit. Il rencontre de nombreux personnages mythiques (Héraclès, le centaure Chiron, Œdipe, Phèdre et, bien sûr, Ariane et le Minotaure). Le récit de la vie de Thésée, en véritable récit initiatique, soulève toutes les questions essentielles : la guerre, l'amour, la jalousie, la quête des origines et de l'identité, la recherche des notions du Bien et du Mal.

Pour ce troisième volet de "La mythologie grecque en cent épisodes", Murielle Szac nous invite à suivre le formidable destin d'Ulysse. Comme les feuilletons d'Hermès et de Thésée, celui d'Ulysse renoue avec l'oralité des premiers récits. Le livre audio, interprété par l'autrice elle-même, vient compléter cette magnifique collection. Ulysse le voyageur malgré lui, qui sait en quittant sa chère île d'Ithaque, sa douce Pénélope et son petit Télémaque qu'il ne les reverra pas avant vingt ans, pas avant d'avoir exploré des terres et des mers inconnues.

The Adventures of Odysseus is the story of what happened after the Trojan War when Odysseus, the most cunning of all the Greek heroes, left Troy and made his way back home to his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus.

How can the Tortoise run faster than the Hare? What happens when the dog growls at its image? Or when the Country Mouse goes to supper with the Town Mouse?

Travel back in time to experience one of the greatest epic stories of all time. Once the Trojan War ended, Odysseus thought his journey home would begin. But what he assumed was the end of his adventure was truly only the beginning.

The Greek myths were first told thousands of years ago, by poets and singers who wanted to tell how the world came to be. These brilliant stories are full of adventure and drama, but they also explore our deepest fears and fantasies. There's a reason these myths still feel so powerful—they've formed the foundations of narratives and archetypes that we see in today. Having changed the way we look at fairy tales in their last book, Karrie and Jon have turned to these ancient stories to see what magic their marvellous gender-swapping machine can work on them.

Homer's epic tale of the warrior Odysseus' decades-long struggle to return home after the Trojan War is simply and beautifully retold, with all the drama intact. Young listeners will thrill at Odysseus' adventures with the man-eating Cyclops; the enchantress Circe, who turns his crew into pigs; and the angry sea god Poseidon.
