The Odyssey of Homer by Richmond Lattimore
The most eloquent translation of Homer's Odyssey into modern English.
"The best..translator of Greek poetry into English is Richmond Lattimore...This is the best Odyssey in modern English" Gilbert Highet "In this Odyssey, Professor Lattimore has achieved his chef d'oeuvre as a translator...A dazzling and well-nigh flawless performance... Here is a master in perfect control of his medium...A landmark in the history of modern translation...It would be a crime to underestimate the miraculous and self effacing artistry with which Professor Lattimore has reanimated Homer for this generation, and perhaps for other generations to come... Times Literary Supplement "Lattimore's translation of Homer's Odyssey is the most eloquent, persuasive and imaginative I have seen. It reads as if the poem had originally been written in English." Paul Engle
Richmond Lattimore was born in 1906 and died in 1984. He was considered one of the leading translators of Greek classical literature.
