Both true to the original and resonant in the present day, it is a masterful work of story-telling for readers of our time. Translator's note: The Greek \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the supreme achievements of the human mind and spirit. This book is not \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e Odyssey, but a translation, which-like all other translations of the Odyssey-like any translation of any work of literature-is a re-creation in a different language of \u003ci\u003esome\u003c\/i\u003e of the qualities of the original work. So at the very beginning, a translator must ask himself: \"Which qualities of this work can I hope to re-create?\" If you look at a number of translations of the Odyssey, you soon see that each translator has answered that question in his own way, a way that differs-and usually differs greatly-from that of all the others. In \u003ci\u003eOn Translating Homer\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Arnold, the great Victorian poet and critic, famously says that the qualities of Homer are four: he is rapid; he is plain and direct in thought and expression; he is plain and direct in substance; and he is noble. In this translation I have aimed at the first three, hoping (and partly believing) that, if I succeeded to some degree in those first three, the fourth would take care of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43159392190527,"sku":"9781495934254","price":24.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3bCuDRvd2u9781495934254.webp?v=1776998125","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/homer-odyssey-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
