Aphrodite #1

Part of Luc Ferry's acclaimed La Sagesse des Mythes series from Glénat, this first volume opens the two-part story of Aphrodite with a cover that feels like a painting come to life — a radiant, golden-haired goddess stepping forward from churning sea foam, bathed in shafts of light as waves crash around her. The subtitle Née de l'Écume ("Born of the Foam") perfectly captures the mythological moment rendered here with painterly beauty by Giuseppe Baiguera, with writing by Clotilde Bruneau channeling Ferry's philosophical approach to Greek myth. A gorgeous invitation into one of antiquity's most captivating stories.
