## Overview

The Odyssey: Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition offers a highly readable, expertly translated version of Homer’s epic poem, enhanced with scholarly notes and cultural insights. This edition transforms a complex ancient text into an accessible narrative, perfect for both literature enthusiasts and newcomers seeking to connect with one of history’s greatest stories.

## Description

Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem, recounting the great wandering of Odysseus during his ten-year voyage back home to Ithaca, after the Trojan War. A superb new verse translation, now published in trade paperback, before the standard Penguin Classic B format. Please note that this is a 'roughcut' edition and as such the pages have uneven edges.

Review: AWARD WINNING TRANSLATION - Beautiful and very readable translation in modern English blank verse. This translation is very easy to understand and the rhythm and forward motion of the prose verse is very compelling. The story definitely comes alive in great detail. Highly recommended. This deluxe Penguin edition with deckle pages and French flaps is beautiful. Highly recommended. Voted one of the "Best Books of 1969" by Time magazine.

Great book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly brilliant interpretation of the world classic
*by A***R on 12 December 2015*

A truly brilliant interpretation of the world classic, one of my favourites of all time Robert Fagles has added a real poetic twist to the English interpretation of the great story, whilst keeping the language and construction of the original, this is to delve into the oral tradition of the The Odyssey and to read it as it may well have been spoken in far off days, it is the very stuff of ancient Greek myth. I would recommend this to any one who loves ancient Greece, it still is one of the great story's
