The Odyssey by Homer Read by Sir Ian McKellen Translated by Robert Fagles See also Homers The iliad on Audio Book click here The Odyssey by Homer Read by Sir Ian McKellen Unabridged Audio Book CD Brand New : 13 Hours 11 CDs Unabridged When Robert Fagles' translation of the Iliad was published in 1990 critics and scholars alike hailed it as a masterpiece. Now one of the great translators of our time presents us with the Odyssey Homer's best-loved poem recounting Odysseus' wanderings after the Trojan War. With wit and wile the 'man of twists and turns' meets the challenges of gods and monsters only to return after twenty years to a home besieged by his wife's suitors. In the myths and legends retold in this immortal poem Fagles has captured the energy of Homer's original in a bold contemporary idiom. This is an Odyssey to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War click here.....
