The English translation of Homer s masterpiece matches the Greek
line for line; no other translation is more faithful to the
original. The result is a melodic version that preserves Homer s
style. A glossary and a map of the Greek world accompany the text.
The Odyssey in Antiquity provides contextual materials and
commentary to increase readers appreciation for literature and life
in the Homeric age. A collection of nine assessments of The Odyssey
by ancient and medieval writers, including Pindar, Aristotle,
Seneca, and Scholia, is featured. Essays by G. S. Kirk and Martin
P. Nilsson, respectively, discuss poetic conventions and the
socioreligious order Homer depicts. Criticism provides sixteen
wide-ranging interpretations of The Odyssey. Included are seminal
essays by Jean Racine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ezra Pound,
Cedric H. Whitman, and A. C. Goodson. Albert Cook, Elizabeth Storz,
Norman Austin, and John Peradotto provide new perspectives on the
poem. An updated Selected Bibliography is also included."
