'Tell me, Muse, of the man of many turns, who was driven far and
wide after he had sacked the sacred city of Troy' Twenty years
after setting out to fight in the Trojan War, Odysseus is yet to
return home to Ithaca. His household is in disarray: a horde of
over 100 disorderly and arrogant suitors are vying to claim
Odysseus' wife Penelope, and his young son Telemachus is powerless
to stop them. Meanwhile, Odysseus is driven beyond the limits of
the known world, encountering countless divine and earthly
challenges. But Odysseus is 'of many wiles' and his cunning and
bravery eventually lead him home, to reclaim both his family and
his kingdom. The Odyssey rivals the Iliad as the greatest poem of
Western culture and is perhaps the most influential text of
classical literature. This elegant and compelling new translation
is accompanied by a full introduction and notes that guide the
reader in understanding the poem and the many different contexts in
which it was performed and read.
