Description

This handsome boxed set of Homer’s epics — powerfully retold by Gillian Cross and strikingly illustrated by Neil Packer — belongs on each and every reader’s bookshelf.

Epic and thrilling, Homer’s two age-old classics have been revisited countless times. Gillian Cross and Neil Packer’s exquisite versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey make up an very important set for both Homer collectors and readers who have no longer yet made the acquaintance of Odysseus, Achilles, or Hector. Depicting their actions, and the ones of the gods they invoke, are vivid, stylistic illustrations harking back to Greek pottery, giving these large-format volumes an additional measure of authenticity and appeal. From the raging battles outdoor the walls of Troy to the unusually surreal ten years it takes Odysseus to journey home, these bold re-envisionings of Homer’s stories are told with simplicity and magnificence — easiest for fans of graphic retellings and mythology enthusiasts alike.
