Telemachus 1: In Search of Ulysses
Ulysses, mythical hero and king of Ithaca, left years ago to fight in the Trojan War. He never came home. His son, Telemachus, an impatient and immature prince who is as clumsy as he is ambitious, decides to go looking for him. On the way, he meets the hot-headed princess Polycaste, who helps him in his perilous adventure full of vengeful gods and terrifying monsters. Will the winds be favorable to them?

I thought this was a rather fun retelling of Telemachus's search for his father Odysseus. (Yes, he is referred to as Ulysses in the comic which is the Roman equivalent. I'm hoping it was just messed up in the translation from French to English.) Odysseus has been missing for years after leaving Troy and Telemachus has never even met his father. Telemachus runs away to find out what happened to his father, making friends and taking on crew as he goes. The art is very bright and Manga influenced. I quite liked it and am looking forward to the next volume.

I do have to wonder why a Greek girl would be wearing something like Polycaste does, but over all this is a pretty interesting re-imagining of the story of Odysseus. It focuses on Telemachus and his quest to find out what happened to his father. The driving impulse seems to be the idea that his mother is thinking about remarrying, which is actually a refreshing change from the original.
Telemachus is somewhat like an ancient version of Captain America, but he gets together a pretty interesting group of Aveneg. . . er companions – including a son of enemy of Odysseus.
The art is cute, almost like anime, but it works and fits the story. Readers should play attention because they are some really nice lines that minor characters have. While not entirely true to the works of Homer, this is a really fun read and would be a good introduction to the Matter of Troy for a child.

This was a fun read. It tells the story of Telemachus, Ulysses' son, who decides to go find his his father, who has been missing since the end of the Trojan War. The story is done in manga style and it is quite humorous. I enjoyed that Telemachus seems not to believe in gods, monsters, and magic, and is disbelieving even when confronted with these things.

The Trojan War has been over for a while now, but Ulysses still hasn't come home to his wife Penelope and his now teenage son Telemachus. The latter is growing more impatient by the day and decides to find his missing father.
He is accompanied by Polycaste (daughter of Nestor) who runs away from her arranged marriage with a changing of important sons of more important fathers.
The comic does not cover the entire story as it is only Volume 1 and more is yet to come.
This was a very short and fun read but I like re-tellings. The feminist undertone was also quite fun. I also liked how the comic was drawn.
I would have enjoyed some more detail and story tbh. And does Polycaste always right in her underwear?
3 Stars. Entertaining.

Liberado por el #stayathome del Covid-19. Es el principio de una serie de tebeos de estilo europeo que recupera, a forma de secuela, los elementos de La Ilíada, La Odisea y Eneida.
El estilo me recuerda a algunos clásicos como Astérix, aunque el humor se ve más actual (y opino que un poco adolescente). Explota bien las convenciones del género y el dibujo es muy agradable.

Telemachus, the son of Ulysses, decides to track his famous father down when he goes missing following the fall of Troy in this retelling of The Odyssey aimed at kids. Telemachus gathers a Scooby gang as he confronts the cyclops his dad blinded and heads off to the island of Circe.
It's sort of stupid fun, for which I was totally primed having recently finishing Madeline Miller's Circe novel.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This has not changed my opinion in any way.
Honestly, I have no idea how accurate this comic is to the original myth but I really enjoyed this. I loved the art style (and yeah sure most of the women are barely dressed but I mean some of the men are barely dressed either so *shrug*) and I will definitely be picking up the sequel(s) if they're translated to English.

Una forma moderna y actual de que los niños aprendan parte de la historia griega
July 7, 2020
Esta novela cómica es genial, nos enseña la mitología desde otra perspectiva y con un toque de humor único que me hizo sonreír en muchas viñetas.
Es una versión moderna del mito, con muchos puntos cómicos y mucha aventura con este personaje tan desastre pero valiente que es Telémaco.
Os lo recomiendo totalmente si queréis ver el mito desde otro punto de vista más divertido, es muy entretenido.

Los mitos griegos siguen gozando de buena salud 2500 años después de escritos. Adaptación en forma de aventuras y desde el punto de vista de Telémaco de las aventuras de Ulises. Tiene momentos bastante graciosos.

I received an advance digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a quick read and the first of what I assume will be many short comics inspired by the Greek mythological figure Telemachus. He’s the son of Odysseus, of Homeric epic fame— although this isn’t obvious from the book’s pitch, because for some reason, even though Telemachus is Greek, this book uses the Roman name for Odysseus (Ulysses). I’m knowledgeable about classical mythology, so this wasn’t difficult for me to realize, but what about a young reader who’s trying to dip into Greek mythology for the first time? Wouldn’t it be helpful just to say Odysseus, so they can make the connection to Homer’s famous epic. Maybe this is a personal criticism, but it was certainly odd.
It reads quickly, because it isn’t too long, and there are relatively good stakes and pacing here; we understand what Telemachus wants and why he’s so adamant about finding his long-missing father. He also picks up Polycaste, a princess who’s unhappy with her forced betrothal, and they team up for adventures on the high (Aegean) sea. The art style wasn’t for me, but there are nice details and imagery that make this feel distinctly Greek, so that’s a plus. Female characters tend to appear in racy costumes, but maybe that’s a time period thing. I get a distinctly manga-style feel from this comic, and I’m not sure if that was intentional. There’s also a wide range of coloring and lighting, which changes depending on the mood of the scene. It definitely fits into the mythological genre, and it’s also interesting to see stories about the children of famous figures in myth; we don’t see that very much.
Aside from my personal note about the use of Ulysses over Odysseus, this is an accessible read that gives a nice snapshot of Greek myth. Although the art style wasn’t for me, I could see the appeal, and would be curious to see further books in this series.
I’m a writer, literary intern, and college student. Here’s where else to find me.

-›61 pages : 54tome1 + 7tome2
Narrative: ***
I shelved this as prose-or-other-adaptation because of how conscientiously he includes the Greek Pantheon in the background despite what seems essentially complete freestyling of the main characters- he even includes the unseen in a dramatis-personae introduction that even includes the duo Ajax.
The way he sets up, it seems like the journeys would be slower though. I thought it weird that there was no boat time or prison time- the plot felt too rushed for my sensibilities of questing and character introduction/enriching.
Visual: *****
Ruiz tremendously impresses me! I typically scoff at the 'goofy YA mangesque look' (my term) but he had me sold on his version from the start because he has such impressive line precision and conscientious detail abounds. Sure, it has computers obviously involved- but it doesn't have any sort of fakeness to the look or compensation for lack of talent.
I'm guessing he was given a demographic that he had to target because what I assume was a "no nudity" mandate seemed very unnatural to his females since he had Polycaste almost nude, with a functionally impossibly small loin covering, at all times- even TelemaQue and others get nearly nuded or barely clothed throughout. I'm giving him that benefit of the doubt on having the imperative because that sort of 'titillation-by-sexifying-the-nonsexual' (also freestyle term) annoys a naturist-type* like myself and seemed to mis-represent his aesthetic tendencies.

Realmente, en menos de una hora ya me lo había terminado.
Es un cómic corto, no llega ni siquiera a cien páginas, pero resulta muy divertida.
Está muy bien detallada la ambientación, recreando la Grecia clásica en su esplendor. La presentación de la historia es preciosa y ayuda a introducir de manera clara al lector sobre lo que aconteció en la cruel guerra y los sucesos posteriores. Al pasar las páginas es una explosión de colores.
Los personajes son los mismos que salen en la mitología griega de Telémaco, aunque en esta ocasión se le añade un toque de fantasía.
Me ha hecho reír la torpeza de Telémaco y admiro la paciencia que tiene Policasta con él (además tiene un cierto aire a Megara, la de Disney).
El viaje es una auténtica locura y un desastre. Por cada solución que encuentran enseguida se añade otro problema.
Al terminar el tomo te deja con la duda de: "¿Encontrarán a Ulises?" "¿Cómo podrán enfrentarse ahora ante el nuevo impedimento?"
Os recomiendo el cómic porque es una lectura súper ligera y viene bien reírse un poco. En esta nueva odisea reina la confusión y la esperanza.

I really liked the idea behind this graphic novel. It tells a story based on Greek mythology about Telemachus who is the son of Ulysses. When Ulysses doesn't return from the Trojan war, Telemachus decides to go and look for him. Along the way he is joined by others who will help him in his quest but there are people who want to thwart him and he has adventures and narrow escapes as his quest progresses.
This is book one of the series and I thought it was entertaining. It is aimed at a young audience but I think adults will enjoy it as well. It was not a strong favorite with me because I didn't like the graphics. Of course that is simply a matter of personal taste. I think other readers and particularly young people and children will enjoy this story from Greek mythology told from the perspective of the children of the heroes of legend.

This comic tells the story of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus/Ulysses and his adventures in the classical greek mythos.
I think given that this is aimed at children it did its job well - it told the story relatively accurately (though I am not a Greek mythology expert) and the art style is fun and engaging.
I did feel that at times the plot moved very quickly; considering it is aimed at children it might be difficult for them to parse and process everything that happens.
The art style is a nice blend of eastern and western illustration, which is lovely in and of itself but if you prefer one style explicitly it may not be for you. Although I'm never a fan of the women showing ~more skin~ - especially when it's aimed at children. It just seems unnecessary.

'Telemachus 1: In Search of Ulysses' by Kid Toussaint with art by Kenny Ruiz is a graphic novel for younger readers about the son of Ulysses.
Ulysses is a great warrior, but not the best father. Now he is off on the Odyssey and his son Telemachus thinks he is in danger, plus things at home are getting weird with suitors showing up to woo his mom, so he decides to go find his father. Along the way, he picks up some interesting companions to help him out.
This is a fun, adventurous story and has some good art. A young reader might even accidentally learn some things about the Trojan War along the way.

Enjoyed quickly reading this book. I loved the art style it's so pretty to look at.
This comic is based on Greek mythology, but instead of what people already know (the battle of troy, the trojan horse, etc) it looks at the children of the warriors. I liked how the females are portrayed, and although they can't choose their own future in most cases they still tried to say something, and how it acknowledges the bisexual nature of ancient Greeks.
Only downside of reading this is the fact that it is quite short and their is too many things going on with the story quickly flitting from one part to the other. It can get quite confusing while reading.

I can't quite decide what to make of this one. The art style is cute and there's some fun engagement with Greek myths, while subverting them (Nobody the cyclops and Polycaste refusing to settle for being forcibly being betrothed being my main ones). The mixing up of Roman and Greek names for the protagonists was a bit confusing and the wider cast of characters is quite large, so much so that it really helps to know the original stories to keep track of who is who. Not totally sold on Polycaste's outfit either, kind of undersells the feminist aspects of her story.

Dès les premières pages, les dessins m’ont subjuguée : non seulement les couleurs sont vives et harmonieuses, mais la présentation est originale.
C’est un gros coup de cœur pour ce premier tome, j’ai vibré avec les personnages que j'ai adorés, j’ai beaucoup ri aussi, surtout avec Hélios.

Hmmm… Greek myth (a sequel of sorts to The Odyssey), but done with garish and frankly ugly cartoonish imagery. The visualisations of Poseidon and the Sirens are fine, but the rest is really poor. Plus the narrative leaves a lot to be desired. And how can you trust a book about a Greek bloke that is constantly called by his Roman equivalent name? One and a half stars.
April 3, 2019
It's a really cute adaptation of the Odyssey as told from the point of view of Odysseus's son - BUT it bugs the everlasting crap out of me that they use Greek names for EVERYONE except for Odysseus who they keep referring to as Ulysses.

Pretty cool ARC! Loved the art style, script was funny and upbeat. Definitely one I’d recommend to both my juniors and teens, a fun take on a story not often told. I look forward to the rest of Telemachus’s adventures!

J'aime beaucoup le thème et le dessin. Le personnage de Télémaque est un peu écervelé et certains personnages un peu décalés mais le mélange fonctionne.

[Critique des Albums 1-3 (À la Recherche d'Ulysse - La Cité des Hommes)]
Tout d'abord, je veux m'excuser pour mon français horrible… Ça fait cinq ans que je ne l'ai utilisé pas, mais je vous promis de fair mon mieux… Espérons que ça améliorera...
L'idée d'utiliser Homère et son Odyssée est très originale. Je ne connais pas d'autres histoires dans le monde des bd - certainement pas pour des enfants ou tous âges - qui sont mises dans la Grèce ancienne. Je ne sais pas exactement quels personages font partie des épopées grecques et lesquels sont 100% imaginés pour cette histoire-ci, mais il n'y aucune doute qu'on pourrait lire sur Wikipédia et des autres sites qu'est-ce qu'ils ont tous fait pour plusieures heures…
Les couleurs sont très agréables, il sont très clairs et remarquables, le style me ressemble comme un mélange d'un style grec et manga. Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi dire… Il y a des moments quand le style me plaît vraiment et des autres quand ça semble… un peu trop japonais, je crois. Parfois, c'est un peu trop angulaire pour moi.
Les personnages principaux - Télémaque, Polycaste, Personne… - et leur quête sont très clairs et sympas. Il y a aussi plusieurs d'autres personnages qui vivent des aventures, et c'est là où tout devient un peu complexe et difficile à retenir, certainement parce que toutes cettes aventures traversent tous les albums. (Qui est qui, qu'est-ce qu'ils font, où sont-ils, pourquoi sont-ils là-bas et font-ils ça, quel est le rapport (familial, ennemi, ami, autre...) entre ces personnages…?) Heureusement, ce sont surtout Télémaque et Cie qui sont intéressants et il y a aucun problème de suivre leur histoire. Ces deux surnoms - Mac et Poly - sont drôles, ils donnent l'histoire une sorte d'élément contemporaine.
Trois étoiles… Bon, je ne sais pas vraiment. Moi, ça me plairait mieux avec un style un peu plus franco-belge et sans des dizaines d'histoires dans les marges. Ce n'est pas une série que j'achèterais, mais ça fait quand même plaisir de la lire!
