The Odyssey Signet Classics (370115372)

Homer's Odyssey был назван “первая редакция,” “впервые представление о берегу в литературной форме,” и “в лучшую историю все написано.” Whether fans of suspense, fantasy или human drama, readers all ages thrill to Homer's vibrant picture of Odysseus on decade-long journey, as meet lotus-eaters, сплошные flees Cyclops, angers his gods, resists Charybdis, averts his eyes from Medusa, docks in exotic cities—all the while struggling to make it home to his wife and son. Достопримечательности на высоких морях, legendary romance, tests of endurance, betrayal, heroism—saga ha all these and more, imagined by the most славный bard of all time. Однако, как Aristotle указали на, “ей greatness was that he himself nowhere to be found in his story. Его характеристики были everywhere.” Blind and possible illiterate, Homer has still “in loftiness of thought surpass'd”* any storyteller since 900 B.C.E. *John Dryden
