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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Gareth Hinds\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassical texts, Graphic novels, Ancient Greek religion \u0026amp; mythology, Folklore, myths \u0026amp; legends, Fantasy \u0026amp; magical realism (Children's \/ Teenage), Traditional stories (Children's \/ Teenage), Comic strip fiction \/ graphic novels (Children's \/ Teenage), Religion \u0026amp; beliefs: general interest (Children's \/ Teenage)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 12 Oct 2010 by Candlewick Press,U.S..\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gareth Hinds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320962261370,"sku":"9780763642686","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780763642686.jpg?v=1790667522","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-odyssey-a-graphic-novel-9780763642686","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
