Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty, and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.
This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.
Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace.
A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
听过TTC讲座中的荷马系列之后,对这两部久闻大名的经典史诗重新燃起了兴趣。《伊里亚特》以前曾经读过一部分,但那口气终于没有接上来。这书现在埋在家里地下室的箱子里,懒得去找,遂决定这回从《奥德赛》入手。前些天去书店买了人民文学出版社王焕生的译本。这个译本的优点是...
评分伊里亚特中的“荣誉”观慢慢淡化,呈现在奥德赛里是对于财产的守护与渴求。冥府里的阿伽门农失去了原先的灵活与气力,阿基琉斯宁愿在人间为人奴役,也不愿在冥府做鬼雄。英雄的黄昏代表维柯所言“英雄时代”的落幕,民主时代在玫瑰色的黎明中悄然到来。在奥德修斯身上的英雄光...
评分在奥德修斯的回乡漂泊过程中,他在女神卡吕普索的岛上被困的时间最长——整整七年时间,也正是在卡吕普索那里,奥德修斯做出了一个最为重要的选择:拒绝了卡吕普索把他变为不死的神明、成为她丈夫的请求。奥德修斯为什么会做出这样的选择? 如果我们从一个现代人的角度来考虑卡...
评分《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...
韵律感极好,画面感很强,有好几幕非常喜欢,bloodshed 一章反复读了好几遍,太爽快。写Penelope,”She offers hope to all, sends signs to each, but all the while her mind moves somewhere all” 她隐忍聪明坚定也神秘,然她最大的价值仍在她的sexual fidelity. 写Odysseus,他勇敢聪慧强大,却也说出 “when the gods bring misery and pain, we have to bear our suffering with calm.” 故事奇妙壮丽,好看。
评分非常友好的阅读体验,作者引言里关于古希腊待客传统的章节值得关注,这对故事有很好的背景提示作用。
评分书籍装帧和毛边设计满分!本来不感兴趣的话题,但是就是想要入手一本啊!Introduction部分写的深入浅出,翻译的很不错。
评分"Tell me about a complicated man" 4/13/20-6/14/20 Bye Freshman Year!
评分本是写作课作业,但却真正的吸引了我。书中有人们对美德的追求,有mortals和immortals的共处,有闪耀的古希腊文明。印象深刻。
