Tell me, O Reader, of that resourceful man…
Read and become Odysseus, the many-minded man, the most famous adventure hero of all time. Make the same choices as he does in the original epic, or read as your version of Odysseus, making the choices you think he should make.
From the teacher (and illustrator) behind GreekMythComix comes this beautiful retelling, featuring characterisations, literary features, scenarios and episodes directly from and inspired by translations of the original poem, from Troy to Ithaca, as well as original, alternative story elements based on suggestions from the original poem, the Epic Cycle, ancient authors and playwrights, sparkling with
additions from Ancient Greek mythology.
Homer’s Odyssey as a second-person narrative –
an interactive epic.
Can you make the same choices as Odysseus?
Should you?
With 700 sections and 200,000 words in the full text, Homeric storytelling and nuanced characterisation, the reading possibilities are satisfyingly varied.
