要弄清楚奥德修斯为什么选择继续做一个凡人,而不做不死的神明,首先得弄明白在古希腊人那里,神和人之间区别在哪里。简单地说,神与人最根本的不同在于:神是永生不死的,而凡人终有一死。当然,很多神还具备超越凡人的对自然的强大支配能力——比如宙斯掌管雷电、波塞冬支配...
评分 评分神话和童话像一对远亲,也仿佛一对近邻。神话经常表现一种意义上的永恒,童话则多就某个伦理主题进行讨论。伦理的“同情”,和对世界的认知与想象,都很重要,这直接关乎人怎么进行一种“社会性”的生存,许多童话涉及伦理则不免于“报应”这个老套的形式,点石成金,吹笛儿遭...

评分图书标签: Odyssey Homer 古希腊 Greek EmilyWilson Classics 英文原版 诗歌
Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty, and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.
This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.
Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace.
A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.
Tears, piety, lies, identity. Tears. Tears. Tears.
评分audible最值得听的长篇评书
评分为了跟尤利西斯对照阅读买的,封面和毛边装帧都好美。Emily Wilson的翻译轻灵敏捷干脆,不失文学性和韵律感。偶有几处用词太现代有点跳戏,整体流畅通顺。Intro第一页说到epic这个词有误导性,让人觉得史诗一定宏大辉煌,然而从词源看,a epic poem本质上只是一个被讲述的故事。 始终读不进富丽堂皇气势磅礴译本的我终于在Emily Wilson的帮助下读完了奥德赛。
评分Excellent translation! I went to her talk at Yale. Such a sharp and attentive scholar. When she read out aloud her own translation--Penelope's dream and the massacre of the suitors, I was enamored by her words. She genuinely loves Homer and her passion for this literature just exuberated in the lecture hall. Energy overflows in her translation!
评分算是一个比较新的本子吧,一个女学者翻译,又特意请了个女演员来念,听了一遍,效果还是不错的;细节什么的完全不必计较,毕竟这年头和以前不同,以前锱铢必较,是各种本子竞争权威性,就说别人误人子弟,现在其实也没谁会但把一个本子奉若圭皋吧;至于Samuel Butler的假说,我是完全无感,与其说是猜作者性别,不如说是某种性别特质吧 Odyssey固与Dante的Ulysses貌合神离,可是相比Penelope,我还是更喜欢Solveig
