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 travelers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation—the first by a woman—matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer’s sprightly pace.

Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting “rhythm and rumble” that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur. An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer’s descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero’s adventures, recapturing what is “epic” about this well‑spring of world literature.

Specially bound paperback edition, with deckle‑edging (rough‑cut) pages and French flaps.
