Adapted by Silvana Salerno, an award-winning author and translator recognized for her acclaimed adaptations of literary classics, the book preserves the scope, symbolism, and narrative richness of Homer’s original poem while making the story accessible to contemporary readers. From Circe and Calypso to the Cyclopes and Poseidon, the characters and episodes that have shaped Western imagination for nearly three millennia remain at the heart of the narrative.

The artwork by Jefferson Costa, recipient of the HQMix Award for Best Graphic Novel Adaptation, gives the epic a distinctive visual identity. Inspired by ancient Greek art, including sculptures, frescoes, and painted ceramics, the illustrations combine dynamic pacing, expressive characters, and cinematic compositions. Heroes, gods, monsters, and legendary landscapes come vividly to life, transforming one of humanity’s greatest adventure stories into an immersive graphic reading experience.
