Βοοκ 5: In The Land Of The Laestrygonians




Strong west winds push the small fleet of Odysseus' ships beyond the Pillars of Hercules which marked the end of the World. Now they are sailing into the vast Ocean trying to keep the shore into view whenever possible. Thanks to the skills and nautical knowledge of the chief captain, the Phoenician Hamon, the ships manage to turn south, taking advantage of the changed winds. Then, after a long time in the sea they find a well protected bay with calm waters.

They are greeted there and are offered hospitality by a barbarian race of very tall, dark skinned people who introduce themselves as the Laestrygonians. The Achaeans accept the offer, not suspecting the mortal danger they were putting themselves into.




To download the comic book and save it on the hard disk there are two options. A pdf format file, which can be opened with Adobe Reader or any other reader capable of opening pdf files and an epub format for easy viewing with the ipad --or with any reader capable of reading epub files.
