The "Battle of the Frogs and Mice" is a charming metrical work that describes the one-day war between frogs and mice at the edges of a lake. It is a parody of the style and language of Homer's Iliad with allegorical intentions. The work has engaged public dialogue, as some argue that it is a work of Homer.
The adaptation of the work into comics is handled by George Vlachos for the text and Irini Skoura for the artwork. In this adaptation, the comic follows the footsteps of the parody, retaining the central structural elements of the original work and presenting a loose adaptation in graphic novel form.
The adaptation is described as an epic graphic musical with the structure of an ancient tragedy. It includes rhymed fifteen-syllable narration and grandiloquent prose of the protagonists, aiming to convey the authentic charm of the muses Melpomene and Calliope.
This is a graphic novel that impresses due to its lyrical language and the beautiful fairy-tale drawings of Irini Skoura. A publication that will be discussed and is recommended for all ages.
