Description

YOU ARE ODYSSEUS

Tell me, O Reader, of that resourceful man...

Read and become Odysseus, the many-minded man, the most famous adventure hero of all time. Make the same choices as he does in the original epic, or read as your version of Odysseus, making the choices you think he should make.

From the teacher (and illustrator) behind GreekMythComix comes this beautiful retelling, featuring characterisations, literary features, scenarios and episodes directly from and inspired by translations of the original poem, from Troy to Ithaca, as well as original, alternative story elements based on suggestions from the original poem, the Epic Cycle, ancient authors and playwrights, sparkling with additions from Ancient Greek mythology.

Homer's Odyssey as a second-person narrative - an interactive epic.

Can you make the same choices as Odysseus? Should you?

Critical Reviews

"Laura Jenkinson-Brown has woven an utterly immersive and magical experience that both remains faithful to the surviving text whilst, somehow, sprinkling it with ingenious references to others, too. LJ-B is truly an artist Of Many Wiles."

Mark Knowles, author of Jason, Argo, Hades, & The Consul's Daughter

"Deliciously descriptive and gratifyingly gory!"

Caroline Lawrence, bestselling Children's Historical Fiction author of the Roman Mysteries

"You Are Odysseus is a labour of love and an adventure of a read. I find myself coming back to it in odd moments, excited to discover what new twist the story might bring me this time and how I'll manage to get out of it! "

"What a brilliant idea, and your work on it is amazing!"
