Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Sing to me of the resourceful man, O Muse, who wandered far after he had sacked the sacred city of Troy. He sawthe cities of many men and he learned their minds.He suffered many pains on the sea in his spirit, seeking to save his life and the homecoming of his companions.Odysseus--soldier, sailor, trickster, and everyman--is one of the most recognizable characters in worldliterature. His arduous, ten-year journey home after the Trojan War, the subject of Homer's Odyssey, is the most accessible tale to survive from ancient Greece, and its impact is still felt today across many differentcultures.This lively free verse translation, from one of today's leading Homeric scholars, preserves the clarity and simplicity of the original while conveying Odysseus' adventures in a modern style. By avoiding the technical formality of earlier translations, and the colloquial and sometimes exaggerated effects of recent attempts, Barry B. Powell's translation deftly captures the most essential truths of this vital text. Due to his thorough familiarity with the world ofHomer and Homeric language, Powell's introduction provides rich historical and literary perspectives on the poem. This volume also includes illustrations from classical artwork, detailed maps,explanatory notes, a timeline, and a glossary. Modern and pleasing to the ear while accurately reflecting the meaning of the original, this Odyssey is a superlative translation for twenty-first-century readers. Poet and Homeric scholar Barry B. Powell offers a major new translation of this enduring epic poem. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
