A less clunky and more accessible way to read Homer's epic tale.

The Odyssey is one of my favorite stories of all time. This was an interesting way to tell it, and I'm not talking about the fact that it's a graphic novel. Clearly, in the interest of time, they skimmed over some things, but the stuff they skimmed over was my favorite stuff. Either way, it was fun to relive the story in a different medium.

excited to teach this next year! it seems like a pretty digestible way to teach the odyssey to 9th graders. and if a greek myth kid wants to read a full translation, it leaves plenty for them to discover and even recommends the author’s favorite translated versions

The Odyssey is one of my favorite books of all time. Once I saw that there was a graphic novel on it, it was an immediate buy :)

Great graphic novel of The Odyssey, would highly recommend it. Personally, didn't care for the art style very much but it was very well done and you knew who each character was.

This graphic novel of this book was so helpful to read alongside the actually novel. It was almost identical and really hit all the important summarizing parts.
