Book Summary
About the Book: Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has
created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike – a
translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent
translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities –
meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance – and in so doing restores to Homer’s
master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the
original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of
Homer’s verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of
the original.
