Opis i karakteristike
Homer's The Odyssey is an epic that has endured for thousands of years, and this Penguin Classics edition is translated by E.V. Rieu, revised by D.C.H. Rieu, and contains an introduction by Peter Jones.
The epic tale of Odysseus and his tenyear journey home after the Trojan war forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats from the witch Circe who turns his men into pigs, to the twin terrors of Scylla and Charybdis; from the stupefied LotusEaters to the implacable enmity of the seagod Poseidon himself Odysseus must test his bravery and native cunning to the full if he is to reach his homeland safely. But the danger is no less severe in his native Ithaca, as Odysseus finds himself contending with the suitors who, in his absence, have begun to surround his wife Penelope...
E.V. Rieu's translation of The Odyssey was the first Penguin Classic to be published, and has itself achieved classic status. For this edition, Rieu's text has been sensitively revised and a new introduction added to complement his original introduction.
Seven greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliad and Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity or even the existence of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.
'One of the world's most vital tales ... The Odyssey remains central to literature' Malcolm Bradbury
