Description

If The Iliad may be the world's greatest war epic, then Your Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseusis reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural causes during his five-year voyage home to Ithaca following the Trojan War reaches once a classic human story and a person test of moral endurance. Translated by Robert Fagles Introduction and Notes by Bernard Knox
