This stunning edition of Odyssey, Homer?s great epic describes the many adventures of Odysseus the Greek warrior, as he strives over many years to return to his home island of Ithaca after the Trojan War where he will defeat the rude suitors camped in his palaceand reunite with his loyal wife, Penelope. The setting of The Odyssey spans the Mediterranean andincludes mythical realms such as the Cyclops?s island, the land of the LotusEaters, and the underworld. The poem is not only an adventurous tale but also areflection on the complexities of human nature, loyalty, and the consequencesof one?s actions. His colourful adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago. This poem has been translated many times over the years.
