Book excerpt: The great epic of Western literature, translated by the acclaimed classicist Robert Fagles A Penguin Classic Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning modern-verse translation. "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy." So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey, which Jasper Griffin in the New York Times Book Review hails as "a distinguished achievement." If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of an everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. In the myths and legends retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb introduction and textual commentary provide insightful background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles's translation. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.

Download or read book The Odyssey of Homer the Original Classic Edition written by Homer and published by Tebbo. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having withstood the test of time and considered the first great work of the Western tradition, The Odyssey can do well enough without introduction. This translation is among the most accurate on the market. Classics professors have urged students to read this translation, the best English source available. Despite the usual popularity of the Fitzgerald translation, the Pope version provides a more literal translation with consistent themes of word choice running throughout. They put their hands to the good things that lay ready before them, for example, will come up over and over again because, quite simply, the phrase comes up over and over again. And we have the same adjectives consistently before each of the major players: resourceful Odysseus, thoughtful Telemachos, and circumspect Penelope, along with the gray-eyed Athene. Pope explains how he chooses to translate the work, and his translation is a literal work of a genius. He retains the lyric style in form throughout the work, aligning this translation even more closely with the original text. For those who desire the most accurate translation of this great work, this Pope translation of The Odyssey of Homer is highly recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Odyssey begins after the end of the ten-year Trojan War, and Odysseus has still not returned home from the war. Odysseus' son Telemachus is about 20 years old and is sharing his absent father's house on the island of Ithaca with his mother Penelope and a crowd of 108 boisterous young men, "the Suitors", whose aim is to persuade Penelope to marry one of them, all the while reveling in Odysseus' palace and eating up his wealth.

L'Odyssée contient aussi un certain nombre d'épisodes qui complètent le récit de la guerre, par exemple la construction du cheval de Troie et la chute de la ville, qui ne sont pas évoquées dans l'Iliade.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Odyssey: Rendered Into English Prose for the Use of Those Who Cannot Read the Original Other difficulties will also disappear as soon as the development of the poem in the writer's mind is understood. I have dealt with this at some length in pp. 251 - 261 of The Authoress of the Odyssey Briefly, the Odyssey consists of two distinct poems (l) The Return of Ulysses, which alone the Muse is asked to sing in the opening lines of the poem. This poem includes the Phaeacian episode, and the account of Ulysses' adventures as told by himself in Books ix - xii. It consists of lines 1 - 7 9 (roughly) of Book i., of line 28 of Book v., and thence without intermission to the middle of line 187 of Book xiii., at which point the original scheme was abandoned.

Download or read book The Odyssey written by Homer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2025-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his new Odyssey, bestselling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a major new work, a translation to stand with Penguin Classics’ famous translations by E.V. Rieu (1946) and Robert Fagles (1996). Mendelsohn sets aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, focusing instead on reproducing the epic’s formal qualities—meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance—to bring the great story to life in all its archaic grandeur. In this meticulous line-for-line rendering, the long, six-beat line he uses, closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each Greek line without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. This is a magnificent feat of translation, one that conveys the oral poetics of the original while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight, and powerful themes that make Homer’s work continue to resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction, notes, and commentary, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.
