The Odyssey, which tells of Odysseus's long voyage home after the Trojan War, is one of the defining masterpieces of Western literature. From man-eating giants to the beautiful, dangerous witch-goddess Circe, from the eerie lure of the Sirens' song to the lavish hospitality of ancient kings and queens, this fleet-footed new translation by the highly acclaimed Stephen Mitchell recreates the lyricism, speed and grace of Homer's epic.
