A stunning gift edition of the age-old tale of Odysseus and his journey.
This epic poem by Homer, believed to have been written between the eighth and ninth centuries BC, continues to be essential reading for young and old alike.
The Odyssey follows the Greek hero Odysseus on a ten-year journey back to his home in Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War. The challenges he encounters along the way, both natural and supernatural, continually test his character and endurance. Run-ins with Cyclops, Medusa, and the Sirens are only a few of the obstacles he must overcome to see his wife and son once again.
Complete and unabridged, this elegantly designed clothbound edition features an elastic closure and a new introduction by Andrew Lynn.
