This prose translation of the Odyssey is so successful that it has
taken its place as one of the few really outstanding versions of
Homer's famous epic poem. It is the story of the return of Odysseus
from the siege of Troy to his home in Ithaca, and of the vengeance he
takes on the suitors of his wife Penelope. Odysseus's account of his
adventures since leaving Troy includes his encounter with the
enchantress Circe, his visit to the Underworld, and the lure of the
Sirens. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics
has made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other
valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date
bibliographies for further study, and much more.
