How Would You Explain the Manga Berserk to an Ancient Greek Audience

[Bobalo18]

Let's say for the sake of argument you are transported to the city of Athens in 405 BCE. You have been given the task of retelling Berserk for the general public (Of course you know the language and idioms and such). You will be given all the manga volumes for reference but due to ASB chicanery, you cannot share it with them. How do you localize the story?

To get the conversation going, I would mention that this story took place in a land beyond the reach of the Gods. I would make sure everyone knew that Guts had the strength of Hercules. His cannon-arm might be a little difficult to explain, but I'd try my best. What else am I missing?

You are asking some really complicated questions... Maybe first we need to find the right audience who will be interested in listening to it and who is familiar with the literature of that time? Also, we don't actually know all about this time - only pieces of culture lived through the ages for us to see. So first, we would have to research this time period, what truly is happening at this age.​

Also, one always can try to use combination of writing and painting to represent this piece of media better. Create concept of manga from scratch using available resources. Although, it would be a lot harder, then just telling the story.
