## Description

desertcart.com: The Odyssey: 9780393356250: Homer, Wilson, Emily: Books

Review: Wonderful and readable - This modern translation of a great epic pulsates with tension to its bitter bloody end, keeping the reader enthralled. The translation from ancient Greek strips all verbosity and in economical verses moves the story along swiftly, vividly bringing to life the story of Odysseus and the Bronze Age coastal world he lived in. It limns a portrait of Odysseus as a man determined to get home to his beloved wife and kingdom using only his wits, shrewdness, courage and resourcefulness. The last few chapters that culminate in a horrendous bloodbath feature an equally strong, courageous and shrewd Penelope and his son Telemachus.
Review: Great translation — esp for High school! - Excellent rendition of the Odyssey! I love how Emily Wilson uses plain language which mimics the style of the original language of Homer — I love that you could read this story aloud and not have any trouble understanding the plot or feelings of the characters. The best translation in my opinion!
