The Odyssey

A note about content

The illustrations in this book depict the sensuality of the original text in much the same way ancient Greek sculpture you see in art museums might, including the human form in minimal clothing. The book also visually represents the violence of the epic with scenes of bloodshed and battle. Please review the book to decide if this story is right for your family and to prepare for conversations about the depictions, particularly on pages 53, 125, and throughout Book 22 (beginning on page 212).
