The Odyssey / Homer ; translated by Emily Wilson. - New York : W.W. Norton and Company, 2017. - 656 pages : maps ; 24 cm.

Translated from the Ancient Greek.

The first great adventure story in the Western canon, 'The Odyssey' is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer's sprightly pace.
