We are planning on module 2 for next year with the history books as planned. I would like to add in reading a 7 year old friendly version of the Illiad and the Odyssey. Popular options seem to be…
The Children’s Homer, which is SCM recommended for grades 4-6 but on Greenleaf Press website they say it is only the story of the Odyssey, so I would need to get another book for the Illiad then?
Black Ships before Troy and The Wanderings of Odysseus, which is SCM recommended for grades 7-9 but on amazon they look like picture books?
Illiad and Odyssey for Boys and Girls by Alfred Church, which is recomended by Greenleaf press, or I can get them cheap on the Kindle ;).
I would like to do both stories, have good retellings, but not have it be too long. Is that even possible?
Sorry if this seems like an obvious question/answer, but I hardly know what the stories are about myself so I’ll be learning alongside Dd this year. 🙂
