Kobo’s 25% Off eBook Sale Returns This August, Just in Time for The Odyssey Fans

Fans looking to continue their journey into Greek mythology and epic adventures after watching The Odyssey can enjoy 25% off eBooks across Kobo’s platform from 16 to 18 August, using promo code SYOK26082.

The upcoming sale gives Malaysian readers an opportunity to pick up titles inspired by the world of The Odyssey, from Homer’s original classics to modern retellings that explore familiar myths from fresh perspectives.

Among the recommended reads is The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Emily Wilson, which follows Odysseus on his long and dangerous journey home after the Trojan War. Readers looking to explore the events that came before the epic can also turn to The Iliad, which delves into the Trojan War and the figures whose stories continue to influence literature and popular culture.

For those interested in seeing Greek mythology through different perspectives, Kobo highlights Circe by Madeline Miller, which reimagines the story of the legendary enchantress as a complex heroine with her own struggles and choices. Meanwhile, The Song of Achilles offers an emotional retelling of Achilles and Patroclus, while The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood gives Penelope a fresh voice and perspective on the story of Odysseus.

Readers can also explore A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, which shifts the focus of the Trojan War towards the women whose lives were transformed by the conflict. For a lighter and more accessible introduction to Greek mythology, Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan brings gods, monsters and heroic quests into the modern world.

The selection reflects Kobo’s growing range of mythology-inspired and adventure-led reads, giving readers different ways to continue exploring the stories, characters and legends connected to The Odyssey long after leaving the cinema.

The 25% off eBook sale runs from 16 to 18 August 2026 in Malaysia. Readers can use the promo code SYOK26082 at checkout. Exclusions may apply and readers are advised to refer to Kobo’s website for the full terms and conditions.
