Member recommendations:Jitsusama recommends The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan, "An ancient classic revolving around Greek Myth. A great help to better understand the mythology of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series." lilithcat recommends The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel by Nikos Kazantzakis, "Only Greece's greatest modern writer would have the nerve and ability to send Odysseus back on his journeying."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140449116, Paperback)Robert Fagles’s stunning modern-verse translation—available at last in our black-spine classics lineThe Odyssey is literature’s grandest evocation of everyman’s journey through life. In the myths and legends that are retold here, renowned translator Robert Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer’s original in a bold, contemporary idiom and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, and to captivate a new generation of Homer’s students. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:33:48 -0400) |
