The Odyssey by Homer; Stanley Lombardo (Translator); Sheila Murnaghan (Introduction by)
ISBN: 9780872204850
Publication Date: 2000-03-01
"[Lombardo] has brought his laconic wit and love of the ribald . . . to his version of the Odyssey . His carefully honed syntax gives the narrative energy and a whirlwind pace. The lines, rhythmic and clipped, have the tautness and force of Odysseus' bow." --Chris Hedges, The New York Times Book Review
