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.

評分 評分《奧德賽》敘述瞭特洛伊戰爭結束後,奧德賽曆經十年的漂泊返迴傢鄉並殺戮瞭嚮他妻子求婚的人。從奧德修斯的講述中,讀到瞭他返鄉的艱辛和路途險惡。書中的第二主角應該是雅典娜,她在這本書中齣場次數較多。關於最後奧德修斯殺戮全部求婚者,以現在的觀念看來是不正義和不...
評分伊裏亞特中的“榮譽”觀慢慢淡化,呈現在奧德賽裏是對於財産的守護與渴求。冥府裏的阿伽門農失去瞭原先的靈活與氣力,阿基琉斯寜願在人間為人奴役,也不願在冥府做鬼雄。英雄的黃昏代錶維柯所言“英雄時代”的落幕,民主時代在玫瑰色的黎明中悄然到來。在奧德修斯身上的英雄光...

评分終於踏馬看完放假後想按照其路綫來一次壯遊
评分書籍裝幀和毛邊設計滿分!本來不感興趣的話題,但是就是想要入手一本啊!Introduction部分寫的深入淺齣,翻譯的很不錯。
评分非常友好的閱讀體驗,作者引言裏關於古希臘待客傳統的章節值得關注,這對故事有很好的背景提示作用。
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!
