Mae West: "Afrodainty"

How many children would recognize MAE WEST in an amusing parody of a Greek hero penned for the elementary school set?
• • Kirkus Reviews did not get too enthusiastic over J.P. Homer's The Thesoddy [authored by J.D. Peterson], published by Aventine Press in 2006. However, this title is still popping up in recent book reviews.
• • In this slim [108 pages] paperback, Thesod follows roughly the same path as Odysseus, with a stop at a place similar to the Land of the Lotus Eaters and an excursion into the Underworld — or rather, the “Underwhere” — a land that may elicit a few laughs from readers familiar with The Odyssey.
• • And beautiful “Afrodainty,” the goddess of love, turns out to be a Mae West type who invites the hero Thesod to come up and see her sometime.
