- Book Synopsis
- "The best line-for-line translation."-London Review of Books "Comparisons to [Emily] Wilson's recent translation are inevitable. . . . Both Wilson and Green capture the spirit of The Odyssey, but word-for-word, Green also captures a feel for the Homeric language, an experience closer to the original."-Library Journal The Odyssey is vividly captured and beautifully paced in this swift and lucid new translation by leading scholar of the ancient world Peter Green. Accompanied by an illuminating introduction, maps, chapter summaries, a glossary, and explanatory notes, this is the ideal translation for both general readers and students to experience The Odyssey in all its glory. Green's version, with its lyrical mastery and superb command of Greek, offers readers the opportunity to enjoy Homer's epic tale of survival, temptation, betrayal, and vengeance with all of the verve and pathos of the original oral tradition.
