Crowded with characters, both human and non-human, and bursting with action, &&LI&&RThe Odyssey&&L/I&&R details the adventures of Odysseus, king of Ithaca and hero of the Trojan War, as he struggles to return to his home and his waiting, ever-faithful wife, Penelope. &&LP&&RAlong the way he encounters the seductive Circe, who changes men into swine; the gorgeous water-nymph, Calypso, who keeps him a prisoner of love for seven years; the terrible, one-eyed, man-eating giant Cyclops; and a host of other ogres, wizards, sirens, and gods. But when he finally reaches Ithaca after ten years of travel, his trials have only begun. There he must battle the scheming noblemen who, thinking him dead, have demanded that Penelope choose one of them to be her new husband-and Ithacas new king. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&ROften called the second work of Western literature (The Iliad, also by Homer, being the first), &&LI&&RThe Odyssey&&L/I&&R is not only a rousing adventure drama, but also a profound meditation on courage, loyalty, family, fate, and undying love. More than three thousand years old, it was the first story to delineate carefully and exhaustively a single character arc - a narrative structure that serves as the foundation and heart of the modern novel. Robert Squillaces revision of George Herbert Palmers classic prose translation captures the drama and vitality of adventure, while remaining true to the original Homeric language.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&R&&LB&&RRobert Squillace&&L/B&&R teaches in the Cultural Foundations division of New York Universitys General Studies Program. He has published numerous essays on literature and the book Modernism, Modernity and Arnold Bennett. &&L/P&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&L/DIV&&R. Seller Inventory # DADAX1593080093
