Presents the story of Odysseus's epic journey through the eyes of his faithful wife Penelope, the sorceress Circe, the goddess Athena, and his old nanny Eurycleia.

Homer's Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local -- a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than the Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelope's parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumors circulating about her. I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids....

The island of Ithaka is overrun with uncouth suitors demanding that Penelope choose a new husband, as she patiently awaits the return of Odysseus from the Trojan War.

An easy-to-read retelling of the Greek myth of the Cyclops, who traps Odysseus and his friends and threatens to eat them.

A retelling in graphic novel format of Homer's epic. The Trojan War raged for ten years until the Greek armies triumphed. But the victors were cursed by jealous gods and set out in stormy seas to face their fates. But more than storms and treachery, gods and mosters is needed to keep King Odysseus from returning home.
