About this product

Product Information

(back cover) The ancient Greek hero Odysseus fought for nine long years in the terrible siege of Troy. Now, all he wants is to go home to his wife and son. But the voyage is long and perilous, and the god of the sea is his enemy. Will he ever see his home and family again? In this new graphic novel version, Homer's famous epic is as fresh and exciting as it was when the story was first told--about three thousand years ago. (front flap) In this great epic by Western civilization's first immortal poet, the Greek hero Odysseus struggles to return home from the Trojan War. His lengthy sea voyage is marked by a series of dangerous adventures as he encounters strange and exotic characters. Among them are Calypso, the beautiful enchantress who holds Odysseus captive, Poseidon, the wrathful sea god, Cyclops, the one-eyed giant, and Circe, a witch goddess who turns men into swine. Here is an exciting tale that has captured the imaginations of countless readers since its first telling, roughly three thousand years ago.
