Description
A New York Times Notable Book of 2018
This fresh translation of Homer’s Odyssey captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Written in iambic pentameter verse and a contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson’s Odyssey matches the number of lines in the Greek original, and the poem sails along at Homer’s swift, smooth pace.
An informative introduction explores the Bronze Age that produced the epic, the poem’s major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this is the Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
