Odyssey
29.99 €
The heroes of the Odyssey live in a material world, in the extreme, almost cinematic clarity of the universe. This text is tangible and visible, even when it concerns Circe's fabulous island or the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus. The main goal of the new translation of the Odyssey is to illuminate the material poignancy of the Homeric world.

The translation is written in a taktov style, a verse meter that allows for the detailed recreation of Homer's relatively free rhythm without deviating from the stylistic principles of epic storytelling. The consistent rejection of archaisms and the desire to clearly convey Homeric imagery make the text natural to the eye.
