The Odyssey : A new verse translation backgrounds the Odyssey in antiquity

Albert Cook


The classic "The Odyssey" translated and edited by Albert Cook. This new translation of the Odyssey has been widely acclaimed by the critics for it faithfulness to Homer's original. It attempts to render the poem not only literally, but line by line, so that almost always the expressions in a given line of Greek are those in the corresponding English line. It also adheres to the "formulac" character of the poem that so many commentators stress today. Mr. Cook has accepted full y the modern understanding that the Homeric poem are oral (not written) compositions, and has reproduced the qualities of that oral style in English.
