Review: A terrific edition of a truly important book - This amazing edition of the Odyssey includes several appropriately epic and nicely chosen illustrations that help the story along. It also includes highly useful and relevant commentary at the end. This is, after all, one of the first adventure tales ever written (maybe the first) and its reconstruction centuries after is, itself, a hugely significant story for lovers of the written word. The modest but valuable commentary at the end of this book is both easily consumed and highly valuable to the reader in creating the context for Homer's tale. It helps place this work within the context of the time it was written. Not only is the Odyssey itself worth reading (and rereading) but I definitely can recommend this particular edition as well worthy of ownership. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,143,599 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Classic Greek Literature #35 in Ancient & Classical Literature #543 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 89 Reviews | ## Images ![The Odyssey of Homer: The Grand Illustrated Edition: Unrivaled in Completeness, with Historical Notes and Glossary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PJBVHZJBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Stunning Edition of a Timeless Classic! *by S***T on September 30, 2024* "The Odyssey of Homer: The Grand Illustrated Edition" is a masterpiece that breathes new life into this timeless epic.

Which of us is to gauge the best source of this epic tale, which is over two thousand years old? It would have been nice if the editor provided the source of the translation however. I enjoyed the glossary but found the descriptions too brief in many cases. Hera is not just "Queen of the gods" nor is Hermes just a "Messenger god." Nausicaa besides being a "Phaeacian princess who helped Odysseus," is also proposed by Butler as being the actual author of the epic. Still, here we have a telling of a saga which has transcended the centuries.
