Description
A bold re-envisioning of The Odyssey, told with simplicity and magnificence — easiest for fans of graphic retellings and mythology enthusiasts alike.
Odysseus faces storm and shipwreck, a terrifying man-eating Cyclops, the alluring but deadly Sirens, and the fury of the ocean-god Poseidon as he makes his ten-year journey home from the Trojan War. Even as Odysseus struggles to make it home, his wife, Penelope, fights a different roughly battle as her palace is invaded by forceful, greedy men who tell her that Odysseus is dead and she or he should make a choice a brand new husband. Will Odysseus succeed in her in time? Homer’s epic, age-old story is powerfully told by Carnegie Medalist Gillian Cross and stunningly illustrated by rising talent Neil Packer.
