More DescriptionThe Odyssey tells the tale of Odysseus' journey home to his kingdom of Ithaca after the end of the Trojan wars. However, the intervention of gods and mystical beasts means he takes 10 years to return home, reclaim his crown and defeat the unwanted Suitors for his wife, Penelope. Although Homer wrote The Odyssey in the form of an epic poem, this edition contains Butler's translation into prose. This larger format edition is particularly well-suited for school and college students. Here, each page has wider outside margins for adding explanatory notes, summaries and points for further thought. This volume contains the complete and unabridged text in addition to a personal study notebook - which means it offers excellent value for money.
