具体描述
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.

##讲座通篇只谈"I want..."而不提贴合原作的译者还是第一次见到， 和Fagles相比韵味和仔细程度实在差太远了...是奥德赛的第一位女性译者又如何呢，若是在Hades遇到Penelope，两人也只能have a silent cup of tea吧。Fidelity, such a lonely word.
评分##Emily Wilson 这个译本阅读起来完全无障碍，像我这样对奥德赛故事不熟悉，第一次看的话非常推荐。接下去想读读希腊悲剧。
评分##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##特勒马科斯临行之际，斯巴达王表示若他愿意自己可以一道同行，御马护送他踏遍希腊的每个角落，所到之处礼物满载……这一遍特别留心读特勒马科斯的部分，经常想在《奥德赛》本卷中注定无法grown up的小王子，如果真能和斯巴达王结伴游历天下会怎样？有时看着他会觉得看到一个“被夭折”的孩子。还有另一挂心处，是奥德修斯和父亲相认，他说孩提时代父亲曾在果园里把每棵果树指给他看，突然很想知道当时是什么光景？卷十八，奥德修斯伪装之下的真心：Of all the creatures that live and breathe and creep on earth, we humans are weakest. 很流畅好读的译本，简介和末尾的注释也比较详尽。
评分##(Lattimore and Fagles are more literal, and Fagles has excellent notes, but Fitzgerald is a far better poet, and his Odyssey is magical.) Then I have to try EW's translation...
评分##这次读了几章之后。后面在audible上听的有声书，赞美有声书！读的真好。重读还是之前的感觉，前半部分是奇幻冒险后半部分是英雄复仇剧，剧情很吸引人????
评分为了跟尤利西斯对照阅读买的，封面和毛边装帧都好美。Emily Wilson的翻译轻灵敏捷干脆，不失文学性和韵律感。偶有几处用词太现代有点跳戏，整体流畅通顺。Intro第一页说到epic这个词有误导性，让人觉得史诗一定宏大辉煌，然而从词源看，a epic poem本质上只是一个被讲述的故事。 始终读不进富丽堂皇气势磅礴译本的我终于在Emily Wilson的帮助下读完了奥德赛。
