Description: The Odyssey is a poem of extraordinary pleasures: it is a salt - caked storm - tossed wine - dark treasury of tales of many twists and turns like life itself Guardian The epic tale of Odysseus and his ten - year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - ship - wrecks battles monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea - god Poseidon - Odysseus must use his bravery and cunning to reach his homeland and overcome the obstacles that even there await him. E. V. Rieu's translation of The Odyssey was the very first Penguin Classic to be published and has itself achieved classic status. Translated by E. V. RIEU Revised translation by D. C. H. RIEU With an Introduction by Peter Jones
