The story of Odysseus's journey around the mythical world is full of peril, including the potion of the witch Circe and the temptation of the sirens. Following the Trojan War, Odysseus tries to bring 12 ships full of men home to Ithaca, only to arrive 20 years later alone. Readers will live through many trials alongside Odysseus in this fast-paced graphic novel. Depicted in full-color illustration and related through accessible content, Odysseus's feats will engage readers from the beginning of his odyssey to his triumphant return to his homeland.

      Gr 3-6-These titles deliver short portions of the myths of six heroes in graphic-novel formats. The prose introductions and conclusions, which are illustrated with reproductions and photographs, often hold the most interesting bits of the stories. Several artists offer different styles, with uneven results, and omissions and several errors trouble the set. In Hercules, it is not noted that the spelling being used is the Roman, rather than the Greek. Odysseus mentions 11 men facing the Cyclops with Odysseus (it should be 12), and Perseus states that all three Gorgons were sisters punished by Athena (only Medusa was ever mortal). The seemingly computer-generated cover images are off-putting and may drive browsers away. Only libraries with a need for mythology comics should consider them.
