Robert Fagles's translation opens with the Muse's call: sing of the man of twists and turns, driven off course after Troy's fall. Odysseus then faces a ten-year ordeal sailing home to Ithaca, hunted by gods and monsters, relying on wit and will to survive what breaks ordinary men. Fagles renders Homer's epic in language made for the ear—rooted in the ancient poem yet alive in contemporary speech. Bernard Knox's introduction and notes support newcomers and scholars alike, offering clarity without smothering the text in apparatus. The Odyssey demands to be read aloud.
