The Odyssey (Illustrated) - Paperback

by Samuel Butler (Translator), John Flaxman (Illustrator), Homer (Author)

Homer's Odyssey is a groundbreaking work that details the adventures of wayward Greeks trying to return home after the Trojan War. The Greeks encounter cyclops, gods, and visit the underworld along the way. A son searches for his place in life and his father with divine aid. This refreshing prose translation by Samuel Butler conveys the rich history and genius of Homer's work while still being highly readable. Illustrations are by John Flaxman.
