I just found some graphic novels of various Ancient Greek stories by Magda van Tilburg. This link is to a section from Herodotus (
History Book II.121) called "the smart thief":

free to read!

Looks fun, but be aware of (at least) the Ares and Aphrodite story, which is not exactly PG.

Duly noted. Thanks for the heads up! The Herodotus story is a great read.

Hi dear Nathaniel and Jason,
Thank you so much for mentioning my lifetime work, the classic graphic novels. May I add that with the four Greek titles I also provide for the
English translations aside? Currently, I am working on the tragedy
Alkestis by Euripides. Each new page I publish right away on my non-profit story site.
And I wonder... in these digital times, the story of Ares and Aphrodite hardly cannot be categorized as PG?
Here a sample of the episode of Kirke from the Odyssey by Homer:

Needless to say, that was the first one I read
