The Odyssey by Homer  (English, Paperback, Homer)

The Odyssey is one of the two great Greek epics attributed to Homer. It is considered to be the sequel to the other Greek epic written by Homer, Iliad. It is the second oldest work in Ancient/Hellenistic Greek literature and continues to be one of the most widely read works of literature even today. It describes the story after the defeat of Troy during the Trojan War and the journey of Odysseus, also known as Ulysses by the Romans, to his home, Ithaca. The journey takes ten years, during which his wife, Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with unruly suitors vying for Penelope’s hand in marriage, assuming Odysseus is dead. The book is written in Homeric Greek, which is an amalgamation of several ancient Greek dialects.
