Odysseus: Escaping Poseidon's Curse [A Greek Legend] (Graphic Myths and Legends)

I bought this with my kids in mind who I want to have some rudimentary understanding of classical Greek culture. It covered the basic plot points of Homer's Odyssey. I only wish it covered the Odyssey in more detail.

I teach students with learning disabilities. Some of my students struggle with reading, but are required to complete the same curriculum as their peers. This graphic novel is very helpful for students studying The Odyssey. The comic book style, colorful illustrations, and understandable text made it very appealing to my students. There is also a short index in the back that is helpful. I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this one, although Odysseus' story is enjoyable in any format. I hope this collection of Graphic Legends includes his arrival at Ithaca and his reclaiming of the throne. It is a story of courage, but it also has all the elements that we often find in the original Greek myths.

I find this specific novel the best from the Graphic Myths series. The illustrations are top level! Really helped me to understand and take some ideas in my own drawings.
