"That was good, boy. Survive first. Revenge comes second."
"The Spartans would call that cowardice."
"Right. If you want to die well, learn from a Spartan. But dying's not the objective here."

- Odysseus the Rebel, page 147,

That looked like an awesome webcomic. If I had the time to keep up with the ones I'm already following and then some, I'd try to read it, but alas... :|

It's almost done, so, it's not like you're committing for long if you try it out.

Bookmarked it, so at least I'll have a chance of remembering it if I have a day with little or nothing to do.

That's how I caught up with it. That, and through procrastination on things I DID have to do. It's a fairly strict interpretation of the original, if my memory of said original serves, with an interesting and added focus on Odysseus being a human rebel of the mortal mind against the divine rule of determinism and godly whims. This as an added red thread gives the story - at least for me - all sorts of interesting undertones. It also helps that the art and the writing are both subtly but consistently clever and funny without decreasing the epic and impressive.
