Review: Love it! It was a present for my boys and they loved it. Review: First of all, I am biased: I believe that The Iliad is both the pinnacle and the foundation for all Western literature, and one of life's great joys for me was learning to read the immortal words of Homer in ancient Greek when I was a teenager. So imagine the thrill of seeing those immortal words translated into a graphic format! This is a complex tale, told in complex language, with an impossibly wide cast of characters in a culture that seems far away from our modern world, and yet it all comes alive on the pages of this graphic novel, just as relevant to our current events now as it was almost 3000 years ago. I am the parent of two students with learning challenges, and I am using this book to make the classics accessible to them. There is nothing simple or easy about the Iliad. The author streamlines the story somewhat, and uses different types of visual cues and reader guides to facilitate reading comprehension. At the same time, the author uses many of Homer's narrative tricks to bring specific moments to life. This book does contain plenty of violence, human trafficking and references to rape (it's about a war), so parents should exercise their judgement about appropriateness for children or young teens. It's approximately a 7th grade reading level. But it's ideal for getting young adventure-lovers hooked on heavy-hitting literature - definitely not for the Charlotte's Web crowd. As soon as the book arrived on my doorstep, I went straight to the scene of Priam clasping the knees of Achilles, and it was exactly as I'd hoped, exactly as Homer describes it. That scene answers some of life's big questions: How do you forgive the unforgivable? What does it mean to be human? What does anything mean? The author's artwork includes some archaeological touches from the time period of the Trojan War, very nice to see. The overall effect is stunning, and captures the spirit of Homer's epic poem. I didn't think the author could possibly top his editions of Beowulf, King Lear or The Odyssey, but here it is: the cornerstone of Western literature. Highly recommended for adults, teens and tweens who are curious about this ancient tale. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,396 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Historical Fiction for Young Adults #552 in Fantasy for Young Adults #1,405 in Comics & Graphic Novels for Young Adults | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,049) | | Dimensions | 17.5 x 1.8 x 26.7 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0763696633 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0763696634 | | Item weight | 855 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | 12 March 2019 | | Publisher | Candlewick Press,U.S. | | Reading age | 12 - 17 years | ## Images ![The Iliad: A Graphic Novel: Homer's thrilling ancient Greek myth told in pacy full-colour graphic novel form for teenage readers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UYfGjbZsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***A on 23 December 2025* Love it!
