The Odyssey poster is created using the first 9 chapters of the book.

Formed from the actual words of Homer's ancient text, the poster depicts a wrathful Poseidon, god of the sea, rising from the waves to wreak vengeance on Odysseus' ship in revenge for the blinding of his son, Polyphemus the cyclops.

Written in ancient Greece where the line between myth and history had not yet been firmly drawn, The Odyssey still stands up today as a masterful work of storytelling that can't fail to captivate modern readers. All lovers of classic literature will appreciate the skill and artistry with which Homer weaves his tale of gods and heroes, and this poster captures the essence of Odysseus' desperate journey to fulfill his destiny.
