A New York Times Notable Book of 2018<\/p>\n

“Wilson\u2019s language is fresh, unpretentious and lean\u2026It is rare to find a translation that is at once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered.” \u2015Madeline Miller, author of Circe<\/p>\n

Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.<\/p>\n

This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the \u201ccomplicated\u201d hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.<\/p>\n

Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson\u2019s Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer\u2019s music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer\u2019s swift, smooth pace.<\/p>\n

A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem\u2019s major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this is an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.<\/p>\n
