I *think* I may have (voluntarily!) read The Iliad and The Odyssey whilst at school.

30 odd years ago.

If so, I'd forgotten how The Iliad actually ends, with the death of burial of Hector, Prince of Troy instead of the Wooden Horse and sacking of the city that many readers are probably more familiar with.

This is a graphic novel adaptation of the story, as told in The Iliad and thus ends at the same point - which, I had to say, actually took me by surprise somewhat! (Not Hector's death - I was expecting that! - but that the story ended there).

I can see this being a more attractive read that the original text to any who are not in the mood for, effectively, a 'heavy' meal.
