Solid choice that stands the test of time. Review: The only translation I can recommend - I love this translation. The verse is beautiful, and the Greek heroes and deities have their Greek names: "Odysseus and Athena, not the romanized "Ulysses" and "Minerva" that I grew up with.

The Odyssey: A Classic
The Odyssey is truly a classical book beyond imagine. The whole book is written in iambic pentameter, a feat quite unlike reality. The book quality is absolutely perfect and it comes along with a strip to bookmark your spots. If you are a fan of Greek mythology and love to sit down and read a good book, there's no where else better to start than The Odyssey!

One of the most important reads of all time.
Love the Everymans Library editions. The font could be just a touch bigger.

A great translation.
Everyone should read it. This, the Iliad and the Bible are the most quoted books of all time. The translation was great translation.
