The Odyssey, Homer's ancient epic, is adapted here as a graphic novel by Gareth Hinds. Odysseus, fresh off victory in the Trojan war, longs for home and his beloved wife. But his journey there is hampered by many trials- monsters, mutinous men, dangerous natives, and the gods themselves. Meanwhile, his wife at home is besieged by suitors presuming that Odysseus is dead. Will he ever make it home?
This was a great adaptation- the watercolors are superb and summarization sound. Recommended.
Rating: A
