Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Excellent prose translation of the ancient epic poem recounts the adventures of the intrepid Odysseus on his homeward voyage from the Trojan War. Guided by the goddess Athene, the clever hero circumvents the wrath of Poseidon to overcome an incredible array of obstacles, including a fantastic cast of adversaries—Cyclops, the one-eyed giant; the enchantress Circe; plus cannibals, sirens, and many other monstrous creatures. A true classic of Western literature. Unabridged republication of the 1921 George Herbert Palmer translation.
