"I long to reach my home and see the day of my return. It is my unchanging wish." The epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War is one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Faced with threats natural and supernatural—shipwrecks, battles, monsters, and the implacable hostility of the sea god Poseidon—Odysseus must test his courage and resourcefulness to the fullest to reach his homeland safely and overcome the obstacles that await him there as well. E.V. Rieu's translation of the Odyssey was the very first Penguin Classic to be published and has itself achieved classic status. For this edition, his text has been carefully revised, and a new introduction has been added to supplement E.V. Rieu's original.
The Odyssey is suitable for lovers of classical literature and for use in education. It can serve as a reference for both independent study and academic study. This translation offers a deep understanding of an essential work of world literature.
