Description
The Odyssey, Volume II Books 13 - 24 is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of Homer's epic poem. This two-volume set features Odysseus' long journey home from the Trojan War and his encounters with various mythical creatures and gods.
Alongside his faithful wife Penelope, who weaves a shroud by day and unravels it by night to thwart the suitors vying for her husband's place, Odysseus faces numerous challenges, including the beautiful nymph Calypso, the queenly but wily Circe, and the treacherous Scylla and Charybdis.
Translated by George Dimock, this edition retains the style of A. T. Murray's original translation while offering a fresh rendering for modern readers. The two-volume set includes a new introduction, notes, and index, providing a comprehensive guide to Homer's story.
