Mad Myths

by Steve Barlow

On an Outward Bound experience, Perce and Andy discover Odysseus washed up on the beach. Horrified at meeting yet another mythical character, they urge him to go home, but he is entranced by the wonders of the 20th-century. A group called the Sirens and a revenge-crazed Circe add to the chaos.
