Both Wilson and Green capture the spirit of the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, but word-for-word, Green also captures a feel for the Homeric language, an experience closer to the original.\" * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\"Green's intelligent translation is . . . a superb choice.\" * The Weekly Standard *\u003cbr\u003e\"Green brings to the poem the rhetorical directness and historical expertise which worked so well in his translation of \u003ci\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/i\u003e. Speeches in his version are vigorous and direct. \" * London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e“The kind of absorption offered by Green’s translation seems particularly relevant to the reading of a poem from an alien culture and period. It contributes to the opening of the imagination that is surely one of the main pleasures of reading such a work. . . . I recommend this translation not only for its weighty introduction and notes but above all for the sensitivity of its expression.” * Manchester Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ODYSSEY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynopsis\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402891174231,"sku":"9780520293632","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-odyssey-9780520293632","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
