Product Description:
This edition, translated by Robert Fitzgerald translation is my personal favorite, perhaps because it is the first I read, or maybe because the poetry seems to flow better than other translations. It also includes some nice "extras" like an introduction that explains many aspects of the poem, a map, a glossary of names and places, and an intriguing postscript about the story and translation. 516 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
Composed nearly 3,000 years ago, this great epic is attributed to the poet Homer. It is about a man, a great traveler and hero who, after many journeys and great struggles, tries to make his way back home after the Trojan War.
