This fine new verse translation of the Odyssey evokes the archaic power of Homer’s language, and yet, in Lee Thompson’s spellbinding version, the 3000-year-old epic feels completely at home in English and remains as fresh and direct as the original.
“When I first read the Odyssey, I felt I was there in a Mycenaean palace, bound in silent enchantment as the bard sang the tale, listening to the rhythmic chanting and lyre, while torches flickered in the smoke-filled shadowy halls.” —Lee Thompson
