The Odyssey de Homer Homer

The Odyssey

Autor Homer Homer Traducere de Samuel Butler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2024

The epic journey of Odysseus: a heroic tale filled with danger, monsters, and romance. The inspiration for the acclaimed Christopher Nolan film adaptation starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway.

Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy. The surviving Greek warriors who destroyed that city have returned home. All except Odysseus, whose wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, await him. Claiming that Odysseus is dead, a host of suitors have taken up residence in his home, eating up his wealth and trying to persuade Penelope to marry one of them. Penelope steadfastly refuses.

Odysseus, in fact, is alive. Odysseus has spent seven years as a captive of the nymph Calypso, the gods finally take pity on him and persuade her to set him free. When he resumes his journey home, the sea god Poseidon sends a great storm to destroy his raft.

Exhausted and near death, Odysseus and his men wash up on an island shore. They are delayed by Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Lotus-eaters, the Sirens, the sorceress Circe, and other strange creatures.

Notă biografică

Homer (circa 8th century BCE) is the legendary ancient Greek poet traditionally credited with composing the foundational epics of Western literature, The Iliad and The Odyssey. Though little is known about his life, and scholars continue to debate whether the poems were the work of a single individual or a collective oral tradition, his masterpieces structurally defined the epic form. Samuel Butler (1835–1902) was an iconoclastic English author, critic, and translator, best known for his satirical novel Erewhon and the semi-autobiographical masterpiece The Way of All Flesh. A dedicated classical scholar, Butler translated both of Homer's epics into accessible, modern English prose, aiming to capture the vital, living spirit of the original narratives for contemporary readers
