Odysseus (Ulysses) and his companions have been trying to sail home from the Trojan War for more than a year. Angry gods and goddesses, however, have sent them wandering through dangerous and unfamiliar lands. Most of the crew has perished. Only one ship has survived. And a mysterious enchantress has transformed many of the survivors into pigs.
Now, Odysseus, Eurylochus, and Elpenor must overcome nymphs, ghosts, monsters, the gods, and a trip to the Underworld, if they ever want to see their beloved island of Ithaca again.
Errores Longi Ulixis, Pars II (Fabulae Epicae III) is the second part of Odysseus's long journey home after the Trojan War. Based (loosely) on Homer's epic poem, it is written for Novice and Intermediate readers of Latin.
