The Odyssey of Homer is a classic epic poem that tells the story of Odysseus, a Greek hero who embarks on a long and perilous journey home after the fall of Troy. This edition, published in 1851, includes not only the epic poem itself, but also a selection of hymns and epigrams attributed to Homer, as well as the Battle of the Frogs and Mice, a humorous parody of epic poetry. The translation is by William Cowper, an English poet and translator who sought to capture the grandeur and beauty of Homer's original Greek in his rendering of the text. This edition is a must-read for lovers of epic poetry and classical literature.With Explanatory Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
