Born and raised in a Longford, Ireland workhouse, Padraic Colum
left at seventeen to become a clerk in the Irish Railway Clearing
House in Dublin. This venture was short-lived, however, and with
the success of a few poems and a play, "The Saxon Shillin'," he
left in 1904 to pursue a career in writing. His success as a
dramatist, poet, novelist, essayist, biographer, children's writer
and editor, as well as his participation in the founding of the
Abbey Theatre, made Colum a central figure in the Irish literary
renaissance. Colum wrote "The Adventures of Odysseus and the Tale
of Troy" in 1918 as a retelling of Homer's epic poems, "Iliad" and
"Odyssey," intended for younger readers. It recounts the perilous
adventures of Odysseus on his journey back from the war in Troy,
including his encounter with the horrible Cyclops, the duplicitous
Sirens, and the evil Circe. One of Colum's many successful
children's novels, these stories will be enjoyed as much today as
they were nearly a century ago.
