The Odyssey is a classic epic poem written by the ancient Greek poet Homer. In this book, Samuel Butler has rendered the poem into English prose for the use of those who cannot read the original Greek. The story follows the adventures of the hero Odysseus, who is trying to return to his home in Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces numerous obstacles and battles with mythical creatures, all while trying to reunite with his wife and son. Butler’s translation is a faithful and accessible version of the original poem, making it a great choice for readers who want to experience this timeless story but do not have a background in ancient Greek literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
