4-panel illustrated comic retelling the Greek myth of Odysseus tied…

About this image

This fully painted 4-panel sequential comic retells the iconic Greek myth of Odysseus and the Sirens from Homer's Odyssey. The panels follow Odysseus instructing his crew to seal their ears with beeswax, being bound to his ship mast to resist the Sirens' alluring song, passing the rocky Siren island cove, and being released once the danger passes. The vibrant illustrated style uses warm earthy tones, bright Mediterranean sea blues, and moody purple mist to convey the tense, dramatic tone of the classic epic story.

This hand-painted sequential comic page retells the classic Greek myth of Odysseus (Ulysses) and the Cyclops Polyphemus from Homer's Odyssey, laid out across four dramatic story panels. Gritty, moody watercolor art uses contrasting dark cave shadows and fiery campfire lighting to show the full sequence: trapped Greek soldiers forging a sharpened stake, blinding the drunken giant, then escaping hidden under the Cyclops' sheep flock at dawn. Narrative captions and dialogue detail the famous clever gambit where Odysseus outwits the one-eyed man-eating monster to save his crew.

  Indeed. Though have seen more severe here I think. Just couldn't get the cyclops right in all the panels which was a bummer.
