This epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - shipwrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god poseidon - Odysseus must test his bravery and native cunning to the full if he is to reach his homeland safely and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him. For this edition, E.V. Rieu's original translation has been revised by his son, D.C.H. Rieu, and Peter Jones.

I have just finished reading this and must say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read.

Telling the tale of Odysseus' 10 year struggle home following the war in Troy, this epic follows him as he sails savage seas, fights mythical creatures and escapes the wrath of vengeful gods only to return home to find his home besieged and is family under threat.

Wonderfully translated with excellent notes this book had me gripped from beginning to end, although I must admit to having been lost amongst the names and lineages of the characters a couple of times I stuck with it and was left deeply satisfied and slightly disappointed to have finished.
