Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns So begins Robert Fagles’ magnificent translation of the Odyssey<\/i>.<\/p>\n If the Iliad<\/i> is the world’s greatest war epic, then the Odyssey<\/i> is literature’s grandest evocation of everyman’s journey though 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. <\/p>\n In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer’s original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey<\/i> to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.<\/p>\n Renowned classicist Bernard Knox’s superb Introduction and textual commentary provide new insights and background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles’ translation.<\/p>\n This is an Odyssey<\/i> to delight both the classicist and the public at large, and to captivate a new generation of Homer’s students.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n 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 new modern-verse translation..
