So, the next day he sails on a Phaeacian ship back to Ithaca after twenty years. There, he faces a lot of sufferings but also a pleasant surprise!...

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.
