Homers Odyssey is one of the worlds oldest and most famous works of literature. It has enthralled readers for almost three thousand years with its tales of gods and monsters, warriors and kings, but also of family, faith, and the universal longing for home.
This stunning new edition of Homers epic features a brand new retelling by celebrated classicist Barry Powell, who has studied, written about, and lectured on Homer for over three decades.
Barrys retelling is accompanied by sixty newly commissioned artworks, bringing the iconic scenes and characters to life, from the brutish Polyphemus, to the monstrous Scylla and Charybdis, mysterious Circe, faithful Penelope, and Odysseus himself.
