The Adventures of Odysseus: A Graphic Novel of The Odyssey
by Nicolás Schuff, Lawrence Schimel(Translator), Mariana Ruiz Johnson(Illustrator)

3 out of 5 stars

This graphic novel for children follows the voyages of Odysseus as he tries to find his way home to his beloved wife, Penelope. Although, the original Ancient Greek story follows a different narrative structure, this adaptation tells Odysseus’ story in chronological order, starting from when he left the battle of Troy. I really liked that, because it makes it much easier for kids to follow along with the story, rather than hearing about Odysseus’ adventures through flashbacks like the original does.
