Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of
Ithaca, wants to return to his family. Instead, he offends the sea
god Poseidon, who dooms him to long years of shipwreck &
wandering. In his efforts to get home, he battles man-eating
monsters, violent storms, & the supernatural seductions of
sirens & sorceresses.
With bold imagery and an ear tuned to the music of Homer's epic
poem, Gareth Hinds reinterprets the ancient classic as it's never
been told before.
"Gareth Hinds brings THE ODYSSEY to life in a masterful blend of
art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a
worthy new interpretation of Homer's epic."
--Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians
series
Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of
Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family.
Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years
of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent
storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses,
Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning--and a little help
from Mount Olympus--to make his way home and seize his kingdom from
the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne.
Award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets
a story of heroism, adventure, and high action that has been told
and retold for more than 2,500 years--though never quite like this.

A closely-observed, action-packed retelling of the story of Homer’s epic The Iliad from master graphic artist Gareth Hinds.
Sing to me, O Muse, of the rage of Achilles…
A crisis point in the Trojan War – Achilles, hero of the Greeks and leader of the ferocious Myrmidons, smoulders in anger against Agamemnon, the most powerful of the Greek leaders. As long as Achilles refuses to fight, the Greeks are destined to fail, pushed back ever further from the stronghold city of Troy by Hector and Paris’ Trojan army. Above the fighting on Mount Olympus, the gods watch on, each allied to a different warrior and each willing to extend the hand of divine intervention to ensure their success… Battle, glory, pride, death and revenge take centre stage in this classic epic retold by Gareth Hinds in his inimitable graphic style.

That Janus was the god of doorways and hallways, and after him we
have named janitors? Where did these words and other words, such as
chaos, genius, nemesis, panic, and echo, come from? From the
ancient stories of the Greeks - stories that rang so true and wise
that the names of the characters have survived for centuries as
words we use every day. This rich collection of myths is perfect
for the classroom or as a gift book.
Here is the tale of young Bassanio, who, to win the love of fair
Portia, entangles his dearest friend, Antonio, in a dangerious
bargain with the moneylender Shylock. Only Bassanio's heartfelt
effort - and a clever intervention by Portia - will save Antonio
from paying Shylock 'a pound of flesh'.
Ancient names come to rich and fascinating life in this lavishly
illustrated gift book for mythology fans and word lovers.Did you
know that "museums" were initially temples built to worship the
nine muses, the goddesses of the arts? That "Janus" was the god of
the doorways and hallways, and we have named our janitors after
him?
Where did these words -- and other words, such as chaos, genius,
nemesis, panic, echo, and narcissus -- come from? From the ancient
stories of the Greeks -- stories that rang so true and wise that
the names of the characters have survived for centuries as words we
use every day. The brief stories here not only impart the subtle
wisdom of these ancient tales, but make us understand the words,
and our own world, more deeply.
