Lewis Carroll meets Homer
in this parody of The Odyssey
. . . rhymes,
bad puns and outright lunacy. 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.
- Kirkus Reviews
Good for a few laughs and bedtime stories
(3 of 5 stars)
"The Thesoddy" may be based on Greek mythology, but its style owes more to Lewis Carroll
than Homer. Full of nonsense words and cringingly hilarious puns such as the nomad Hatter and the underworld of Tartarsauce
. . . [The Thesoddy] will still provide kids a segway into a world far more interesting than Harry Potter.

Welcome to our website!
Many thanks to the hundreds & hundreds of visitors (from around the world)
to the one-and-only website featuring J.P. Homer’s “The Thesoddy” and "Erik Miteus" (both
by J.D. Peterson).
If you're interested
in the strange and fabulous world of Orn, check out The Thesoddy. An exerpt of the one of the chapters of The
Thesoddy is available on this website, and you can browse more of it online at Google Books. It’s a tale
of adventure, full of angry gods, sea voyages, monsters, swordfighting, a princess, and silly, green, large-nosed Dar Mofts.
Also, soon to appear is Erik Miteus. Erik "the Mighty" Miteus, famed for his youthful role helping Jasod find
the Golden Fleas, goes off to a war (The Ghast Garlic Wars) that he couldn't find for 30 years while lost at sea.
He finally returns home to find himself (and his family) the victim of a crazy garlic addict seeking revenge for something
a different Erik did during the war. The Thesoddy is written as an epic rhyme, and Erik Miteus is written as a rhyming
play . . .clearly two of the craziest stories I’ve ever read. And they are full of darned good rhymes (and darned
bad puns, too).
I’ve heard that these stories delight children from 10 to 110, lower blood pressure,
and may even cure the common cold . . . all rumors of course.
Check out J.D.'s book at Barnesandnoble.com and Amazon.com
and a variety of other sites around the world.
