Versions Of The Odyssey

Although The Odyssey is originally written my Homer, there are many other versions of it published. The first time I read a version of The odyssey, it was written in a shorter form in my little brother's chapter books. Although it had the main events (such as how Odysseus injured the Cyclop) and the general idea of the whole story, it did not go into details (Such as when King Menelaus told Telemachus about how he was stuck in the Egyptian area after the Trojan War) It also looked at the brighter side of the events, as it was a version suitable for younger readers. It made me think that there must be more versions of the Odyssey, thus probably lead to the different ways that the characters in The Odyssey are portrayed by people.
