Odyssey I: Books 1-12 - L104
Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of the resplendent epic tale of Odysseus`s long journey home from the Trojan War and the legendary temptations, delays, and perils he faced at every turn. Homer`s classic poem features Odysseus`s encounters with the beautiful nymph Calypso; the queenly but wily Circe; the Lotus-eaters, who fed his men their memory-stealing drug; the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops; the Laestrygonian giants; the souls of the dead in Hades; the beguiling Sirens; the treacherous Scylla and Charybdis. Here, too, is the hero`s faithful wife, Penelope, weaving a shroud by day and unraveling it by night, in order to thwart the numerous suitors attempting to take Odysseus`s place.
The works attributed to Homer include the two oldest and greatest European epic poems, the Odyssey and Iliad. These texts have long stood in the Loeb Classical Library with a faithful and literate prose translation by A. T. Murray. George Dimock now brings the Loeb`s Odyssey up to date, with a rendering that retains Murray`s admirable style but is worded for today`s readers. The two-volume edition includes a new introduction, notes, and index.
