Industry Reviews
"To recreate a world where everything is living, down to the chairs and table-linens, is very nearly as difficult as to create it. Fagles does this with triumphant assurance; every arrowhead flashes lightening, every bush burns: Homer is with us."
advertisement - James Dickey
"A splendid companion piece to his memorable English version of 'The Iliad'...[Fagles] combines the pungency of modern colloquial English with timeless dignity."
Advertisement - Robert Alter
"Wonderfully readable. he's grasped the dramatic urgencies of the narrative in an unusual way--and let those determine his language....Just the right blend of sophistication and roughness it seems to me."
Advertisement - Ted Hughes
"This book is a memorable achievement, and the long and excellent introduction by Bernard Knox is a further bonus, scholarly but also relaxed and readable."
New York Times Book Review - Richard Jenkyns (12/22/1996)
"The Odyssey is the part of Homer we are best equipped to appreciate, in this time of women's newly asserted dignity, and Fagles is the person best equipped to bring the epic to us."
New Yorker - Garry Wills (01/27/1997)
