Description

Homer's Odyssey - Volume 1 (of 6)
Colored Edition

It's been ten years since the Trojan War ended, and Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, has not yet returned to his island. But his people have more reasons to worry, as aspiring "suitors" have settled in the palace squandering the King's fortune and badgering his wife, Penelope, to choose one of them as her husband. Telemachus, Odysseus' son, travels to Pylos and Sparta to find out whether his father is still alive...
***

The Homeric epics have repeatedly inspired various creators and have thus been retold, adapted, and rendered into various art forms. The Odyssey shifts between the real world at Homer's time and the fantasy world at the time of the Trojan War. The graphic novel is above all the type of art which can illustrate these two worlds simultaneously, achieving both recreational and educational goals.

The rhapsodies are faithful to the original text. Despite its rich vocabulary, the language used is simple. Nevertheless, it maintains a narrative rhythm reminiscent of the original rhythmic scheme. The short texts at the end of each book provide useful information, not only about Homer and Odysseus, but also about the time period of the Odyssey in general.

It is the first time that "ODYSSEY", Homer's magnificent epic from Ancient Greece, is turned into a graphic novel by Greek artists. The six volumes, each of which includes four rhapsodies, consist of a total of 270 pages, contain 9,580 images, 2,8350 dialog boxes, and six historical texts.

A novelty of the project is the curved gutters that separate the images; an innovation that gives motion to the immobile images, allows for particular receiving angles and contributes positively to the overall aesthetics of the pages.
