Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer’s epic.” Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series "Terrific graphic introductions to Homer’s foundational epics of war and homecoming," The New York Times "Big, bold, beautiful." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Most impressive... Hinds has created a work that both honors the epic’s long tradition and helps readers see these characters in a new light. Publishers Weekly Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god Poseidon, who dooms him to long years of shipwreck and wandering. To get home, Odysseus must battle man-eating monsters, violent storms and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses. He will need all his strength and cunning - and a little help from Mount Olympus - to make his way home and seize back his kingdom from the scheming suitors who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. With bold imagery and an ear tuned to the music of Homer’s epic poem, a ward-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventure and high action that has been told and retold for over 2,500 years. **Now an epic fantasy action film starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya and Tom Holland, directed by Christopher Nolan.** Review: This will be an all-time classic - I bought this for myself years ago and loved it. Faithfull to the original, and such a tremendous work! Imagine over 200 pages of thoroughly illustrated images, well researched, several per page! You can see the love for the originialI introduced it to my 6 year old son half a year ago, and he reads in it every day. I have read it out loud for him 2 times all the way through. His favourite book of all books is the Illiad by Garerth Hinds (which I have read for him every day for months now at his request, some passages he just cannot get enough of). It also made me pick up the original Homer again, appreciating it in a new way Review: Excellent - What a great way to introduce a child to Greek myths and legends. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
