In a companion volume to his award-winning adaptation of The Odyssey, the incomparable graphic novelist Gareth Hinds masterfully adapts Homer’s classic wartime epic.
More than three thousand years ago, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War. The Iliad, Homer’s legendary account of this nine-year ordeal, is considered the greatest war story of all time and one of the most important works of Western literature. In this stunning graphic novel adaptation — a thoroughly researched and artfully rendered masterwork — renowned illustrator Gareth Hinds captures all the grim glory of Homer’s epic. Dynamic illustrations take readers directly to the plains of Troy, into the battle itself, and lay bare the complex emotions of the men, women, and gods whose struggles fueled the war and determined its outcome. This companion volume to Hinds’s award-winning adaptation of The Odyssey features notes, maps, a cast of characters, and other tools to help readers understand all the action and drama of Homer’s epic.

More than three thousand years ago, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War. Renowned illustrator Gareth Hinds masterfully adapts Homer’s classic wartime epic. Fresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. A New York Times bestseller! When Romeo and Juliet first meet, they don’t know they’re from rival families — and when they find out, they don’t care. How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together?

At the urging of his wife, Macbeth resolves to take the throne by the most direct path: a dagger in the heart of King Duncan. But is Macbeth prepared to commit more murders to keep the crown? Hinds brings Shakespeare’s classic tragedy to life. Grendel’s black blood runs thick as Beowulf defeats the monster and his hideous mother, while somber hues overcast the hero’s final, fatal battle against a raging dragon. Beowulf’s heroic saga finds a true home in this graphic-novel edition. In a thrilling adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known works, Hinds translates Poe’s dark genius into graphic-novel format. The seven graphic narratives amplify and honor the timeless legacy of a master of gothic horror. Ideal for spooky fans!
