Book Description

Brimming with Greek mythology and folklore, Homer's ancient Greek poem The Odyssey is now available in a beautifully bound Dover Bookshelf hardcover volume.

This literary treasure is a two-fold story; the first half takes readers on a breathtaking journey as Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, battles mythical creatures, defies gods, and tests the courage and resilience of the human spirit on his epic quest to return home.

The second half brings Odysseus back to Ithaca, where new challenges and dangers await. Central to this part of the story is the tale of Penelope, the devoted wife and often-overlooked clever and cunning heroine. Against incredible odds, both characters use wit, courage, and unyielding determination embodying the power of wisdom and perseverance to reunite their family and reclaim their lost kingdom.

An enduring classic crafted for both affordability and elegance, this collectible edition is an accessible treasure for students, teachers, and booklovers alike.
