The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem that follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, on his grueling ten-year journey home after the fall of Troy. While he battles legen dary perils—including the one-eyed Cyclops, the enchantress Circe, and the deadly Sirens—his faithful wife Penelope and son Telemachus must fend off aggressive suitors vying for his throne at home. Ultimately, Odysseus returns to Ithaca in disguise, tests his wife's suitors, and violently reclaims his kingdom with his family's help. This specific Classics Club hardcover edition features the celebrated, accessible 19th-century translation by Samuel Butler. Show more
