I was commissioned by Angus Hyland to draw the cover and
end-papers for Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, one of a
series of books by different authors rewriting the Greek Myths.

From Margaret Atwood’s Introduction to The Penelopiad:
"I’ve chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to her twelve hanged maids. The Maids form a chanting and singing Chorus which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of The Odyssey: what led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in The Odyssey doesn’t hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I’ve always been haunted by the hanged maids; and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself."
