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.
原本想提名作《辛巴达在希腊》。 因为奥德赛在海上的种种遇险和岛上奇遇与那位阿拉伯人太像了。只不过辛巴达遇上的是人,是怪,是妖。奥德赛遇上的却都是神。排除成书时间的先后,中国的唐三藏也可以算一个旅途不顺的典型。只不过,前两者走的是海路,三藏法师走的是陆...
評分 評分听过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...
評分荷马是西方文学、宗教甚至哲学思想的开端,像任何伟大的开端一样,这个开端非常费解。古典作品中费解的地方实在很多,求得正解不容易——阅读古典作品需要耐性,不可指望种种费解之处很快(哪怕三年、五年甚至十年)就得到解答,何况,搞清楚费解之处的文本位置以及费解的问题...

Excellent translation! I went to her talk at Yale. Such a sharp and attentive scholar. When she read out aloud her own translation--Penelope's dream and the massacre of the suitors, I was enamored by her words. She genuinely loves Homer and her passion for this literature just exuberated in the lecture hall. Energy overflows in her translation!
评分這個“英雄鎩羽而歸 人們幸福生活”的結尾好像沒有Iliad好。
评分終於踏馬看完放假後想按照其路綫來一次壯遊
评分韻律感極好,畫麵感很強,有好幾幕非常喜歡,bloodshed 一章反復讀瞭好幾遍,太爽快。寫Penelope,”She offers hope to all, sends signs to each, but all the while her mind moves somewhere all” 她隱忍聰明堅定也神秘,然她最大的價值仍在她的sexual fidelity. 寫Odysseus,他勇敢聰慧強大,卻也說齣 “when the gods bring misery and pain, we have to bear our suffering with calm.” 故事奇妙壯麗,好看。
评分本是寫作課作業,但卻真正的吸引瞭我。書中有人們對美德的追求,有mortals和immortals的共處,有閃耀的古希臘文明。印象深刻。
