In the Odyssey, Homer - the greatest poet of ancient Greece - tells the story of the adventures of Odysseus during his voyage home after the fall of Troy in about 1200 BC.

Homer's much-loved story has been translated many times, but no one has produced a more readable version than the late Dr E. V. Rieu. His sensitive prose translation, which quickly became a Penguin best-seller, is now republished with an introduction by Jacquetta Hawkes and illustrations.

The distinguished archaeologist and author, Jacquetta Hawkes, puts Odysseus voyage into its historical and geographical perspective. Her contribution is further enhanced by more than 100 black-and-white and colour pictures, many of which were specially photographed for the book by Tim Mercer, who recaptures the magical land- and sea-scapes that Odysseus and his companions would have seen in their travels.

This edition published 1981 by Book Club Associates by arrangement with The Rainbird Publishing Group Ltd. First published by Penguin Books Ltd 1946. Illustrated edition first published in Great Britain in 1980 by Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd.
