The Dear Utol (2025): Maniac Photographer Episode 26Iliad, Improved: An Illustrated Panorama

By Jason Novak

Arts & Culture

These panels tell the story of Ajax, as related in the Iliadand by Sophocles. I’d originally intended to treat the story without embellishment but just couldn’t allow poor Ajax to fall on his own sword at the end. Homer’s world is populated with people driven by mad and almost childlike uncontrollable passions. They did not reflect deeply on their actions. When I think social media has just about driven me bonkers and start lamenting modern times, I need only consider the senseless, sensation-drunk world of the Iliadand Odysseyto realize that every age on record has been frantically moving toward self-destruction.
