Sing Us, O Muse, A Different Tune: Homer’s Ὀδύσσεια Translated as A Graphic Novel

Master thesis | Linguistics (MA)
This thesis identifies a gap in existing research and reflects on the position of translations, comics, graphic novels and classics in the literary canon. By taking Homer's Odyssey as an example, this thesis demonstrates both the didactic and the literary quality of the graphic novel, which have been and still are undervalued by academics. Furthermore, this thesis explores the nature of (intersemiotic) translation, by studying the transition from Homer's epic to Gareth Hinds' graphic novel.

Note
This thesis included original material from the graphic novel, which due to copyright could not be digitally published. Therefore, the translation is only presented in Appendix B. Appendix C, the translation presented in the pages from the graphic novel, has been handed in to both supervisors of this thesis.
