Books written by Homer
Homer: The Odyssey
This epic tale proves that the best stories and the most perilous adventures know no time period. "The Odyssey" is as compelling today as it was when it was written. Many of the adventures from Odysseus' journey have become stories all their own (the Cyclops, the Sirens, etc.) Fitzgerald's translation of this poem is masterful. He makes it easy to read but takes none of the magic away from Homer's spellbinding words. Children today who love action and adventure in books and in the movies should not overlook this classic simply because of its length and age. This book is for anyone who loves adventre and excitement, even if you never read Greek Mythology before you will love the adventures of Odysseus. The Odyssey is filled with betrayal, magic, myghical beasts, the wrath of the gods and the foolishness of human nature. By any standard, this is quite possibly the greatest adventure story ever told.
