"Again, an extremely individualist author, if even, in his case, in leftist, selfless empathy; a reconceiver of his medium/genre, making a very dark documentary about human reality.

That is where this comes in, in what is - basically - a graphical retelling of the story in a visual medium (graphic novel), with this covering all the key points of the story, including the fact that Odysseus wasn't exactly faithful to Penelope in the 10 years it took him to get home to Ithica (after spending 10 years at this siege of Troy) ...
