Gender-swapped psychedelic sci-fi comic book version of Homer’s Odyssey?

Sounds crazy. I’m into it.

Comic book with characters from fairy tales like the Big Bad Wolf, Snow White and Prince Charming who’ve been expulsed from their lands straight into modern day New York by an evil force, called the Adversary, where they have to survive and hide their unique fairy taleness.

An ancient Sumarian/Babylonian bromance for the ages. Its fragmentary nature forces readers to imagine what stories these missing pieces might tell.

A loosely related sequence of epic poems about transformation(s) inspired by Greek mythology written by Ovid more than two thousand years ago, translated by Stephanie McCarter in 2022.

I’m not sure who to blame for how boring most of this book is:

• The British for their empire and the consequences of that on the Irish.

• The Catholics for influencing the Irish and warping their existing folkloric beliefs.

• Lady Wylde herself for presenting these stories in a very blunt and uninteresting way.

All of the above?

I love Greek mythology which definitely elevated my appreciation of this text.

If you’re not already a big fan of Greek mythology, you’re unlikely to get much out of it though.

The Odyssey is a classic and there’s more stories that have been inspired by it than I can count. After reading it, you’ll be able to see it echoed everywhere you look.

Robert Graves’s The Greek Myths is more of an encyclopedia about everything related to the Greek myths rather than a pure retelling of the myths themselves. It’s not meant to entertain, it’s meant to inform. Although, if learning everything there is to know about Greek myths sounds entertaining to you then this is the book for you.
