The Odyssey needs no review. It is an important piece of literature not only for its own right, but because it has provided so much reference material for subsequent great works. I had not read it since my college days (too many years to count), so it was both interesting and worthwhile to visit it again.
As the godlike and resourceful Odysseus might say, the journey was worth it.

My first foray into ancient Greek myth and I loved it. This translation is very accessible and immersed me into Odysseus' journey of trials and tribulations. Loved it!
