Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
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.

奧德賽即是“關於奧德修斯的故事”的意思。該書是古希臘荷馬史詩中的第二部,與《伊利亞特》一樣,也是24章,不過篇幅要稍短,寫的是特洛伊戰爭後希臘英雄奧德修斯的曆經10年的偉大返鄉曆程。全書圍繞著這個旅程,從兒子找爹和爹迴故鄉並懲處糾纏自己老婆的求婚人這兩個綫索齣...
評分讀過《奧德賽》以後,奧德修斯這個人物給我留下印象最深的地方並不是他的聰明機智,反而是他的殘暴。奧德修斯的機智人所共知,史詩中的多處情節都反映齣瞭這個人的“機敏”。不過,當奧德修斯重新踏上伊塔卡的土地之後,他個性中發揮最大影響的因素便不再是機智,而是殘暴(或...
評分 評分作為一部古老的古希臘文學作品,《奧德賽》具有人類文學的一些原始性。首先,荷馬創造的許多橋段與事件是為瞭把多個時空串聯起來,是為瞭在同一本書裏講述故事A、B、C、D,如同《一韆零一夜》巧妙地把數十個故事安排到一個大的劇情裏。古代地作者們藉一本大部頭來完成收納整理...
評分在奧德修斯的迴鄉漂泊過程中,他在女神卡呂普索的島上被睏的時間最長——整整七年時間,也正是在卡呂普索那裏,奧德修斯做齣瞭一個最為重要的選擇:拒絕瞭卡呂普索把他變為不死的神明、成為她丈夫的請求。奧德修斯為什麼會做齣這樣的選擇? 如果我們從一個現代人的角度來考慮卡...

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!
