I’m interrupting my Comic Con cavorting to bring you the Greek cover of Leviathan:
Hey, I know it’s just the original US cover with the title in Greek. But Greek looks pretty cool.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I’m at Comic Con, so check out my doings on twitter, or catch me in person if you’re in San Diego.
Shay's Story, a graphic novel version of Uglies, is OUT NOW!
The Uglies series has been adapted into graphic novel form, with the events of the trilogy told from Shay's point of view in three volumes.
The first one comes out March 6, 2012!

It’s transliterated! I wonder if it’s called “leviathan” in the Greek version of the Bible. Probably, since the New Testament was originally written in Greek.

Can’t wait to read me some ?EBIA?AN

I find with internationally published books that all foreign covers are better than the ones in the United States. I wonder if the others feel the same about us.

I wish I was at Comic Con with you Scott!!! *sighs* Anyway the Greek cover is really cool!
July 23rd, 2011 23:46
I love it!!! I’m Greek and i can’t wait to get my hands on this one….
July 24th, 2011 01:41
Greek is such and awesome language, at least i think it is, considering i have no idea how to read or speak it…
July 24th, 2011 03:37
The Greek cover is awesome! I think everything looks better when it’s written in a foreign language.

I love Greece! Greek mythology is the best! I can list all the gods and goddesses, plus most of their Roman counterparts! And now, just for the heck of it, I shall!
Greek=Roman
Zeus=Jupiter
Hera=Juno
Poseiden=Neptune
Hades=Pluto
Athena=Minerva
Demeter=Ceres
Aphrodite=Venus
Hermes=Mercury
Ares=Mars
Apollo=Apollo
Artemis=Diana
Hephausrus=Vulcun
Dionysus=? (sorry, this is the one I don’t know)
AND FINALLY
Hestia=Vesta
Wow, I’m kinda a nerd…anyway, I (really really really really really) can’t wait until ‘Goliath comes out!
July 24th, 2011 06:35
Cant wait for Goliath!!!!!
Dude, that cover is Kick-rump!!!
July 24th, 2011 07:03
I just converted to Greek Eastern Orthodoxy for my husband (I was Catholic so not too big of a jump). For the most part I can pronounce the capital letters of the Greek alphabet, although the B is throwing me off a little. But that is so exciting to see it written in Greek! Awesome!
@Shelby Dionysus is Baccus in Roman
July 24th, 2011 07:47
I’m surprised that the cover isn’t different than the American one.
July 24th, 2011 08:46
Looks awesome. Love the carrot/A and the O! Wish I could see you at Comic Con. Come to Anime Boston next year would you? I know it’s anime but New England doesn’t really have any awesome cons ;_;
Just a few days until the August art reveal! So excited! It’s also only a little over a month away!
July 24th, 2011 09:51
I know you will get angry at me for asking this… Do you have any updates on the Uglies movie? I am so excited for it (I have been waiting for 2 years!) and there hasn’t been any new information. Thank You!!!
July 24th, 2011 11:49
@Mallory What looks to be B is pronounced V, just like in the Cyrillic alphabet.
July 24th, 2011 17:58
Looks awesome! Can’t wait for Goliath to come out!
July 25th, 2011 00:06
Cool!
Did they try to write “Scott Westerfeld” in Greek, but just gave up?
July 25th, 2011 00:17
@Shelby: I knew how to do that as well, then I learned the nordic gods and godesses as well and I started mixing Greek and Roman. (Roman mythology is anyway just “stolen” from Greek mythology)
July 25th, 2011 04:43
Man that cover is sweet!
And I’m am like 15 minutes away from you right now and have no way to get in to comic con *sigh *Oh well I’m going next year so life is still good
July 25th, 2011 23:46
Haha, it’s only Leviathan but spelled with Greek letters. The “carrot” is just the capital of Lamtha (Americanized version Lambda), the Greek letter for L, the B is the capital of Veeta (Americanized version Beta), the Greek letter for V, and the letter that looks like an O with a line in the middle is Theta, the Greek letter that makes the “th” sound as in thatch, or thumb (There is no equivalent letter in the English alphabet- we have to put two letters together to make that sound). Leviathan, just using Greek letters to spell it. I’m Greek if you couldn’t tell!
July 25th, 2011 23:48
Shelby, you should read the Percy Jackson series about Greek mythology and the follow-up series The Heroes of Olympus about the Roman counterparts. It’s another great series! Ignore the movie, it’s a piece of trash.
July 26th, 2011 21:29
@Alex-wa I already said it was just “Leviathan.”
July 27th, 2011 07:07
Greek does look pretty cool
July 27th, 2011 07:08
yay for “theta”
July 31st, 2011 04:45
I was on vacation in Athens this past week and saw lots of your books in the bookstores I visited, including the Greek copy of Leviathan. Clearly, Greeks have good taste!
August 2nd, 2011 07:22
OOOO yay Greek!!!! One of my friends would FLIP if she saw this…. but I haven’t gotten her to read Leviathan yet….
October 4th, 2011 06:26
I can read greek letters. Like a boss. Hm, maybe I’ll use the Greekyfied version to learn Greek…?
TRANSLITERATION FTW~
