A lush, illustrated retelling of Homer’s Odyssey for everyone—featuring modern language, a foil-stamped cover, and bold artwork that breathes new life into the epic poem that inspired Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster film.

Two decades have passed since Odysseus left to fight the Trojan War, and his family is desperate for him to be home. Shipwrecked and held captive by Calypso, Odysseus is finally released with the gods’ intervention—only to face several more challenges, from encounters with the Cyclops Polyphemus to the enchantress Circe and the deadly Sirens.

Illustrated by dramatic, colorful artwork, Barry B. Powell’s retelling of the 24 chapters captures the grandeur and lyrical feel of the original, appealing to both fans of the story and those reading Odyssey for the very first time.

Highlighting themes of resilience, loyalty, and the power of intellect over brute strength—amid tales of mythical creatures and divine beings—Homer’s Odyssey: An Illustrated Retelling brings Homer’s epic to life in a vivid, accessible form.
