When Zozimos is banished by an evil witch (his stepmother!) from the kingdom of Sticatha-the kingdom he was next in line to rule-he trains at battle (if you call chasing after butterflies training), travels across stormy seas (thanks for that, Poseidon), slays golems and monsters (with a lot of help), charms beautiful women (not really), and somehow (despite his own ineptitude) survives quest after quest.

Good way to do the odyssey, with a wink and all the good quotes. Natasha suggested it to me. I look forward to the sequel.Library copy.
Fractured mythology the stickman way. Goofy and amusing.
