Homer was probably born around 725BC on the Coast of Asia Minor, now the coast of Turkey, but then really a part of Greece. Homer was the first Greek writer whose work survives.
He was one of a long line of bards, or poets, who worked in the oral tradition. Homer and other bards of the time could recite, or chant, long epic poems.
If The Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, then The Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseus's reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.

Introduction and Notes by Bernard Knox 请读者注意,你将要购买的这本书属于“Rough Cut”即传统的毛边剪裁。
A:有些精装书的切口为何很毛糙?
Q:毛边书在国外出版界通常用于重要的精品图书,为了使特定图书看起来更特别更有品味。在过去毛边书的生产流程会更为复杂和昂贵。而且毛糙的切口对于藏书者来 说可是贴心举措!当你阅读后,可以将该书拿去给印刷厂在毛糙切口处重切一刀,黑色的手指印和因为阅读而形成的卷曲立即消失,一本崭新的适于收藏的图书出现 了! 国内读者可千万别误会这属于品质差的图书,所有亚马逊中国提供的原版书都是由国家规定的图书进出口公司进口的国外出版社正规制作的原版图书产品,与国外销 售的产品完全一样。
《奥德赛》叙述了特洛伊战争结束后,奥德赛历经十年的漂泊返回家乡并杀戮了向他妻子求婚的人。从奥德修斯的讲述中,读到了他返乡的艰辛和路途险恶。书中的第二主角应该是雅典娜,她在这本书中出场次数较多。关于最后奥德修斯杀戮全部求婚者,以现在的观念看来是不正义和不...
评分读过《奥德赛》以后,奥德修斯这个人物给我留下印象最深的地方并不是他的聪明机智,反而是他的残暴。奥德修斯的机智人所共知,史诗中的多处情节都反映出了这个人的“机敏”。不过,当奥德修斯重新踏上伊塔卡的土地之后,他个性中发挥最大影响的因素便不再是机智,而是残暴(或...
评分 评分奥德赛即是“关于奥德修斯的故事”的意思。该书是古希腊荷马史诗中的第二部,与《伊利亚特》一样,也是24章,不过篇幅要稍短,写的是特洛伊战争后希腊英雄奥德修斯的历经10年的伟大返乡历程。全书围绕着这个旅程,从儿子找爹和爹回故乡并惩处纠缠自己老婆的求婚人这两个线索出...
A grand epic! 比伊利亚特读起来顺畅多了!
评分感觉读完词汇量扩大2000以上。。。最优美的语言
评分读完,还需再读一遍。非常棒的现代英语译本。
评分One is the voyage, how Odyssey determined to go home, with and without the destiny of God. The other is identity, how he re-established himself as the king of Ithaka via different paths of externals. The last is humanity, how men struggled across their adventure of life. SY
评分意料之外的有趣。荷马真是伟大的诗人!
