I’m not going to review the Odyssey. It would be arrogant of me to try judging an ancient poem that is likely the most influential piece of literature in the Western school. Thank you very much.

I read Emily Wilson’s version for class and I honestly quite loved it.

Such a classic. One of the earliest epic works.

The Odyssey is filled with epic imagery, memorable characters and a lyrical style that has stood the test of time. While its ancient pacing and repetition can take some adjusting to, the beauty of the language and the depth of its themes make it a must read.
