Age of Canaan
Nir Levie, illustrator
In this Canaanite myth adaptation, Anat, the goddess of passion, and Baal, the god of fertility, navigate celestial warfare and moral dilemmas, weaving a captivating tale where their choices hold the power to reshape not just the heavens but the very fabric of humanity. This 150-page fantasy graphic novel draws inspiration from epic poems discovered in Ugarit, Syria, dating back to the 15th century BC. Age of Canaan unravels the forgotten tapestry of Canaanite mythology through five interconnected stories, spotlighting the strength of Canaanite women. One of these strong females is Queen Taltmanat. When she unveils the blood-stained legacy of her father, King Keret, she endeavors to dethrone him, securing her brother as the new king. In a relentless pursuit, she must expose Keret's malevolent choices before they trigger the downfall of their realm. Comparable to the Iliad or the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Canaanite myths are adapted into graphic novel form, evoking the spirit of titles such as '300,' Vinland Saga, Berserk, and Tale of Tales.
