A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi.

A leleményes Odüsszeusz Trójától Ithakáig tíz esztendőn át tartó hazaútja az egyik legnagyobb történet, amelyet valaha is elmondtak.
