Description:
In paperback! 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. (Age 12 and up)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 seriesFresh 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.

REVISED 11/07/16: Homers ILIAD should be read by every literate person who strives to be well-educated, and Caroline Alexanders 2015,
modern translation is an excellent way to read it. It is sound, solid, clear and direct, and respectful of Homers original. Her English syntax is natural
and flowing, understandable but not (as in some other recent, modern versions) flippant or too colloquial. I rate the translation 5-stars, though I
was initially tempted to rate this ebook edition of it at least one star lower because of its formatting.As very good as Alexanders translation is, this
ebook edition doesnt do it justice with regard to its textual formatting. Between indents and long-line carry-overs, the left margin unevenly zig-zags
in-and-out on a Kindle screen. Just when I thought I had it figured out some double-indents appeared to add to the confusion. Sadly, downloading
a sample wont reveal this; the sample will only provide pages from the Introduction, whose modern prose is quite properly and comfortably
presented. It is the poetry of the ILIAD itself whose indented lines are so annoyingly erratic, and this will only be evident to those who actually
purchase it and read beyond the sample. Interestingly, in the very first few screens of this ebook (which do appear in the sample), a note from the
publisher appears concerning this matter, apparently recognizing it as a possible source of confusion but essentially saying (in effect) thats how it is
on a small-screen device, its the nature of the beast, and readers must try to get used to it. And so I am trying, mollified somewhat by the fact that I
paid only $.99 for it -- rather than $14.99 (its original price) -- during a special sales-promotion period. But more importantly, I have since
discovered the formatting is IDEAL if the text is viewed in wider-screen, landscape mode on ones Kindle device. If you are able to make that
adjustment (something my Kindle Paperwhite could not do until the last upgrade), the formatting problem is virtually solved and the long lines
appear comfortably normal.I have read dozens of different translations of the ILIAD, and though I find Alexanders translation to be highly
commendable, there ARE other great ones available (even one or two good FREE ones), many of them identified under FYI at the end of this
review. Nevertheless, because this one is particularly well-done and desirable, you may even wish to obtain a hardcovered ($39.99) or paperback
($19.99) edition of it as a keeper copy. (I intend to seek a less expensive used copy.)There have been numerous translations of the ILIAD in
recent years, but while I suspect in time many of them will fall by the wayside, this one may not. Caroline Alexanders stands a good chance to
remain, not only because it is THE best among most recent ones, but because it is ONE of the best among ALL translations of the ILIAD. But
great though it is, it will survive in the economic marketplace only if it is competitively priced with those others. Happily, its ebook price has come
down from $14.99 to $12.99 and more recently to $8.99 (making it a strong contender).Caroline Alexander is also the author of THE WAR
THAT KILLED ACHILLES: THE TRUE STORY OF HOMERS ILIAD AND THE TROJAN WAR (Viking Penguin, 2009). Those who
enjoy her ILIAD may wish to read it.FYI: The first translation of the ILIAD was by George Chapman (1611), a formal and majestic Elizabethan
English version in verse that is of interest today mainly in connection to its role in literary history. Two, free, public domain versions by Edward
George Geoffrey Smith Stanley Derby (1862) and by Theodore Alois Buckley (1873) are pretty unpleasant to read; skip them. Its probably best
to also steer clear of one by William Cowper (1791). Two old translations that remain popular, are easy to obtain in public domain editions, and
ARE worth reading are by Alexander Pope (1715-20, in verse) and Samuel Butler (1898, in very readable prose). A once highly regarded one by
Andrew Lang, Walter Leaf, and Ernest Myers (1883) was used by the Modern Library until replaced by Ennis Rees wonderful translation (1963),
my favorite. The best ILIAD translation is arguably by Richmond Lattimore (1951) with Robert Fitzgeralds (1974) being a strong contender for
second-best. A 1938 one by W.H.D. Rouse is serviceable and generally okay. Likewise, Robert Graves offers a novelized version (1959) that is
very readable but not a strict translation. Three excellent newer ones are by Robert Fagles (1990), Peter Jones (a superb 2003 revision of E.V.
Rieus popular 1950 version), and this one by Caroline Alexander (2015). Peter Greens highly literate translation (2015) is technically excellent but
not as readable as the three just mentioned. Several other good, recent ones are by Michael Reck (1994, but now hard-to-find), Ian Johnston
(2006), and A.S. Kline (2009). Three recent ones that I dont particularly care for are by Stephen Mitchell (2011, who omits too much textual
content), Stanley Lombardo (1997), and Barry B. Powell (2013). These are just SOME of the other translations available.
