The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel

Ten years of war. Ten more years of trying to get home.

Odysseus, king of Ithaca, has been gone for twenty years. At home, suitors eat his estate and press his wife Penelope to choose one of them. Penelope weaves a shroud by day and unpicks it by night. At sea, her husband is hunted by Poseidon, tempted by Circe, trapped by the Cyclops, and told by the dead that the road home leads through the underworld.

Homer's epic of longing, cunning and the road home, retold in 124 illustrated scenes. Bold, flat-colour art, with the speech balloons and captions lettered straight into every page.

A graphic novel for readers new to Homer, for families, and for anyone who wants the Odyssey in an evening.
