Publishers Description

THE GREATEST ADVENTURE OF ALL TIME
Richly imagined by the blind bard around 900 B.C.E., Homer's story follows Odysseus on a decade-long journey as he flees Cyclops, angers his gods, resists the Sirens, averts his eyes from Medusa, docks in exotic cities-ever longing to return to his wife and son.

@IthacaStateOfMind Uh oh. This cave is a giant's lair. He has a taste for cheese, and my companions. He also has only one eye. Trying to keep from laughing.
Got him drunk. Put a hot poker in his ONE EYE when he blacked out. That will show him - if he could see. LOL. Time to leave.
Damn. Poseidon pissed. How was I supposed to know One-Eye was his son? What Olympian whore did he sleep with to get an issue like that?

	Worst Translation Ever  Mar 13, 2009
If you are looking for the poetic translation of the Odyssey, I wouldn't reccomend this one. In fact, I wouldn't reccomend it to people who don't want that translation. WHD Rouse probably didn't use the original words of Homer. He criticized Homer in his note, saying that the poem version isn't good and that it should be put into simple words. If you want a good version of this classic, I would reccomend the Fagles version. It is poetic, yet not too hard. It's a good book.
