Review

"The Odyssey is the part of Homer we are best equipped to appreciate, in this time of women's newly asserted dignity, and Fagles is the person best equipped to bring the epic to us."

Synopsis

A retelling of Homer's epic that describes the adventures of the hero Odysseus as he encounters many monsters and other obstacles on his journey home from the Trojan War.

Retells in simple language five episodes in the voyage of the Greek hero Odysseus from Troy to his home in Ithaca.

Publisher's note

Robert Faglesas stunning modern-verse translationaavailable at last in our black-spine classics line
The Odyssey is literatureas grandest evocation of everymanas journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, renowned translator Robert Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homeras original in a bold, contemporary idiom and given us an "Odyssey" to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. This is an "Odyssey" to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homeras students.

Annotation

Perhaps the most celebrated of all Western narratives, the Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus's roundabout voyage home to Ithaca where his beloved Penelope awaits. In stories along the way, he famously encounters Circe, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and many, many others. This translation renders the classic more economically than others.
