Why read it?
1 author picked Ares as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a graphic novel re-telling of The Iliad from Ares’ perspective. It looks amazing and it’s an absolute blast. I really enjoy the attention to detail in the illustrations, which look very dynamic and are full of information drawn from decent sources.
The storytelling is very sophisticated, so while Ares is the focal point, we move around the Trojan War and see it from different perspectives, divine and human. It is simply a great retelling of the Trojan War story with as much blood, glory, and tragedy as anyone could ask for.
From Sonya's list on The best books to attack ancient Greek warfare.
