The Odyssey (AmazonClassics Edition) by Homer

After enduring the Trojan War, Odysseus begins the treacherous journey home to Ithaca. On the way, he faces ravenous monsters and vengeful gods. But the real battle awaits, as his kingdom is under siege by unruly suitors vying for his wife’s hand—and his son’s head. To reclaim his throne and save his family, Odysseus must rely on his wits…and help from the unpredictable gods.

Homer’s The Odyssey was composed around 700 BC. It is one of the earliest epics in existence and remains one of the most influential works of literature today.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Odyssey, this edition of The Odyssey (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Homer is believed to have been born sometime between the twelfth and eighth centuries BC. While the works of the Greek poet have had a significant influence on Western culture and literature, very little is known about the blind bard from Ionia. Some scholars allege that the epics The Iliad and The Odyssey were actually composed by groups of storytellers who worked in the oral tradition. Regardless, the epics assigned to Homer have become the chief sources for world mythology, our understanding of early human society, and tales of life in ancient Greece.
