Homer's classic poem features Odysseus's encounters with the beautiful nymph Calypso; the queenly but wily Circe; the Lotus-eaters, who fed his men their memory-stealing drug; the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops; the Laestrygonian giants; the souls of the dead in Hades; the beguiling Sirens; the treacherous Scylla and Charybdis. Here, too, is the hero's faithful wife, Penelope, weaving a shroud by day and unraveling it by night, in order to thwart the numerous suitors attempting to take Odysseus's place.</p><p> The works attributed to Homer include the two oldest and greatest European epic poems, the <i>Odyssey</i> and <i>Iliad.</i> These texts have long stood in the Loeb Classical Library with a faithful and literate prose translation by A. T. Murray. George Dimock now brings the Loeb's <i>Odyssey</i> up to date, with a rendering that retains Murray's admirable style but is worded for today's readers. The two-volume edition includes a new introduction, notes, and index.</p> 6859538 1 1 1919 The Odyssey: Books 13-24 (Loeb Classical Library, No 105) total:20|5:15|4:2|3:2|2:1|1:0| 20 91 34 1 3 0 false false Thu May 24 05:28:31 -0700 2007 Thu May 24 05:29:17 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Nov 30 17:09:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 17:09:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 29 13:13:41 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 13:13:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 16:11:49 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 16:11:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 22:16:29 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 22:16:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 20 13:19:23 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 13:19:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 28 10:27:21 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 10:27:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 14 11:53:19 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 11:53:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 16 13:19:49 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 13:19:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jun 04 12:51:36 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 12:51:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 18 12:21:19 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 12:21:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 04 09:28:26 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 09:28:26 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 02 10:58:07 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 09:46:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 08:28:33 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 08:28:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 03:38:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 03:38:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 25 04:39:57 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 04:39:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 06:22:51 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 06:22:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 27 04:40:12 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 04:40:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 20:50:48 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 20:50:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Dec 05 02:18:25 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 02:18:25 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=376570
