The Odyssey
THE GREATEST ADVENTURE OF ALL TIME

Richly imagined by the blind bard around 900 B.C.E., Homer's story follows Odysseus on a decade-long journey as he flees Cyclops, angers his gods, resists the Sirens, averts his eyes from Medusa, docks in exotic cities-ever longing to return to his wife and son.

"Wonderfully readable... Just the right blend of roughness and sophistication." —Ted Hughes

"Robert Fagles is the best living translator of ancient Greek drama, lyric poetry, and epic into modern English." —Garry Wills, The New Yorker

"Mr. Fagles has been remarkably successful in finding a style that is of our time and yettimeless." —Richard Jenkyns, The New York Times Book Review
