Description

The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife. Though the stormy god of the ocean has sworn vengeance against him, and witches and sirens try to lure him off course, Odysseus is clever and has the brilliant goddess Athena on his side.

Dudley Fitts...
"The best translation of Homer that I have ever read is by W. H. D. Rouse."
 

About the Author

Homer (9th–8th century b.c.), Ionian poet, is the presumed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems of ancient Greece. Virtually nothing is known about his life. Tradition has it that he was blind. Most scholars believe he composed, but probably did not literally write, the Iliad and the Odyssey, likely relying on oral traditions.
