''ODY-C'' is a comic book series by writer Creator/MattFraction and artist Christian Ward, published by Creator/ImageComics.

Odyssia, by the way, is female. So is her entire crew and pretty much everyone they encounter. The second issue explains that, at some point in the past, Zeus killed off every man in the universe for fear that one of them would father a child who would overthrow Zeus the way Zeus overthrew his/her[[note]]The Olympians don't both with restrictive mortal concepts like the gender binary.[[/note]] father Cronus. The consequences of Zeus's action, and of various attempts to get around it, recur through the series.

* SadlyMythtaken : the source mythology gets played around with in ways that have nothing to do with the gender shuffle or futuristic setting, for example Prometheus is presented as Zeus' child rather than cousin, Zeus' and Hera's respective attitudes towards Zeus' offspring are rather different from the Greek myths, Proteus and Humbaba are very different from the originals, etc

* NarrativePoem: Written in imitation of this style. The prose captions are in what Fraction dubbed his [[SelfDeprecation "dummy hexameter"]], his attempt to mimic the original's dactylic hexameter (which used a defined scheme of long and short syllables) with a pattern of stressed and unstressed ''syllables'' instead.

As the title suggests, it's a science fiction take on ''Literature/TheOdyssey'', telling the story of Odyssia's return home to the planet Ithacaa following the sack of Troiia VII, and the strange planets and alien creatures she and her crew encounter along the way. And as the story continues, it also folds in story elements from other epics, including the ''[[Literature/Arabian Nights Thousand and One Nights]]'' and [[Literature/TheAeneid the Aeneid]].
