Description
⭐ "An engrossing, entertaining work of graphic fiction that captures the spirit and strangeness of its source."
—Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)
The classic Greek myth of Odysseus comes alive for a new generation with this vibrant graphic novel adaptation.
Now that the Trojan War is over, Odysseus can’t wait to reunite with his family. He sets sail and expects to be home in just a few weeks—but over ten years of adventure lie ahead! Can the hero and his crew survive singing Sirens, escape witches and nymphs, outwit a man-eating Cyclops, and make it home to Ithaca at last?
Author Nicolás Schuff and illustrator Mariana Ruiz Johnson transform Homer’s epic adventure for a new, younger generation in their spirited, action-packed graphic novel adaptation. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, this playful edition includes a fresh artistic interpretation, including bold graphics and engaging side panels introducing Athena, Poseidon, and other Olympians alongside their appearances in the story.
Chapters include:
The Return from Troy
The Kingdom of the Dead
Circe and Odysseus
The Island of the Sun
The Court of the Phaeacians
And twelve other famous scenes and stories from The Odyssey!
Translated from Spanish by Lawrence Schimel.
