The classic Greek myth of Odysseus comes alive for a new generation with this vibrant graphic novel adaptation.

Now that the Trojan War is over, Odysseus cant wait to reunite with his family. He sets sail and expects to be home in just a few weeks--but over ten years of adventure lie ahead! Can the hero and his crew survive singing Sirens, escape witches and nymphs, outwit a man-eating Cyclops, and make it home to Ithaca at last?
