The Odyssey

Homer

Penguin Classics, 1999

Fagles finds the translator's "middle ground" amidst controversy
About the Odyssey itself, I can add no greater praise than that which has already been deservedly heaped onto one of humankind's greatest literary creations. This particular version is graced with an excellent introduction and notes by Bernard Knox, and what I ...

Translations
Researching translations is never an easy task, and in this case, where you'll have to search on Amazon for the title and the translator to find what you want, it's particularly difficult. Here's what I've found by comparing several editions: 1. David Grene ...

The strength of Chaucer's verse shines through....

The Iliad (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Homer

Penguin Classics, 1998

A defense of Fagles for the general reader
