The Odyssey (Chiltern Classics)

The setting of The Odyssey spans the Mediterranean and includes mythical realms such as the Cyclopes’ island, the land of the Lotus Eaters, and the underworld. The poem is not only an adventurous tale but also a reflection on the complexities of human nature, loyalty, and the consequences of one’s actions. His adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago. This beautiful edition is translated by Alexander Pope.
