L'Iliade #1

Part of Luc Ferry's "La Sagesse des Mythes" series from Glénat, this 2016 opening volume adapts the Iliad's explosive prelude — "La Pomme de Discorde" — with a cover by Frédéric Vignaux that sets the scene beautifully: a woman in a flowing white dress stands with her back to us, gazing out from a grand terrace at a vast armada of ships massing on a shimmering sea below. Writer Clotilde Bruneau and artists Didier Poli and Pierre Taranzano bring the world of ancient myth to life, promising an epic that bridges classical literature and the bande dessinée tradition with real elegance.
