If The Iliad is the world''s greatest war story, then The Odyssey is literature''s greatest evocation of every man''s journey through life. Here again, Fagles has performed the translator''s task magnificently, giving us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Each volume contains a superb introduction with textual and critical commentary by renowned classicist Bernard Knox.
