>Homer’s Iliad Marvel Comic Book Style
Last semester I finished a doctoral course on Homer’s Iliad & Odyssey and Vergil’s Aeneid. I just learned that Marvel Comics (think Spiderman, X-Men, Wolverine) has issued an animated version of the Iliad. I don’t yet know whether the translation is solid or whether it accurately follows the story. All the same, I am glad to see that a comic book company recognizes the power of the Iliad and sees it as relevant for today. Maybe now someone will make a decent film version of it unlike that terrible Brad Pitt version sans deities.
Maybe I’ll buy it. I want to see how Marvel depicts the gods.
