Abstract

Anders Nilsen's graphic novel saga Tongues explores the myth of Prometheus, depicting the titan still chained to a mountaintop and forced to reckon with his creation. The relationship between Prometheus and the eagle that punishes him daily is a central theme, highlighting the origin of language and its significance. The setting, reminiscent of Afghanistan, reflects the ongoing global turmoil, prompting readers to question the consequences of humanity's advancements. Nilsen's innovative panel layouts and exploration of weighty themes make Tongues a thought-provoking and engaging narrative that delves into history and human nature. [Extracted from the article]
