A bold re-envisioning of The Odyssey, told with simplicity and style
-- perfect 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 sea-god Poseidon as he
makes his ten-year journey home from the Trojan War. While Odysseus
struggles to make it home, his wife, Penelope, fights a different kind
of battle as her palace is invaded by forceful, greedy men who tell her
that Odysseus is dead and she must choose a new husband. Will Odysseus
reach 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.
