"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy." So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey , which Jasper Griffin in the New York Times Book Review hails as "a distinguished achievement." If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of an everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. In the myths and legends retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb introduction and textual commentary provide insightful background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles's translation. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.

Review: Authentic. The edge is supposed to look like that. - Well worth the money, must have paperback. Review: Great for collection - Great deluxe edition if you love the cover and translation. But for any other reason do not buy this edition. Eventhough it is penguin deluxe, they are just paperbacks at the end of the day and the price is quite steep. The pages are a bit thin but other than that perfect edition of Odyssey. ## Features - The great epic of Western literature, translated by the acclaimed classicist Robert Fagles ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,632 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #288 in Poetry (Books) #305 in Myths, Legends & Sagas #332 in Literary Theory, History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,157 Reviews | ## Images ![The Odyssey: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81g0AATkO9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic.
