具体描述
Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty, and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.
This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.
Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace.
A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

##只读了介绍和译者前言
评分##书籍装帧和毛边设计满分！本来不感兴趣的话题，但是就是想要入手一本啊！Introduction部分写的深入浅出，翻译的很不错。
评分##Like it better than illiad
评分##特勒马科斯临行之际，斯巴达王表示若他愿意自己可以一道同行，御马护送他踏遍希腊的每个角落，所到之处礼物满载……这一遍特别留心读特勒马科斯的部分，经常想在《奥德赛》本卷中注定无法grown up的小王子，如果真能和斯巴达王结伴游历天下会怎样？有时看着他会觉得看到一个“被夭折”的孩子。还有另一挂心处，是奥德修斯和父亲相认，他说孩提时代父亲曾在果园里把每棵果树指给他看，突然很想知道当时是什么光景？卷十八，奥德修斯伪装之下的真心：Of all the creatures that live and breathe and creep on earth, we humans are weakest. 很流畅好读的译本，简介和末尾的注释也比较详尽。
评分##这次读了几章之后。后面在audible上听的有声书，赞美有声书！读的真好。重读还是之前的感觉，前半部分是奇幻冒险后半部分是英雄复仇剧，剧情很吸引人😂
评分##"Tell me about a complicated man" 4/13/20-6/14/20 Bye Freshman Year!
评分##讲座通篇只谈"I want..."而不提贴合原作的译者还是第一次见到， 和Fagles相比韵味和仔细程度实在差太远了...是奥德赛的第一位女性译者又如何呢，若是在Hades遇到Penelope，两人也只能have a silent cup of tea吧。Fidelity, such a lonely word.

评分##这个“英雄铩羽而归 人们幸福生活”的结尾好像没有Iliad好。
