The Odyssey - Homer - "Wilson's language is fresh, unpretentious and lean...It is rare to find a translation that is at once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered." —Madeline Miller, author of Circe Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home. This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before. Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace. A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this is an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

Before writing the Preface of "Odyssey International Anthology for World Poets 2020", I would like to congratulate and salute the great personality, Her Royal Highness Sheikha Mozah Nasser Al-Missned. She has already spread kindness and generosity all over the world. Peace be blessed upon her and her family.Then I think that it is necessary to say something about poetry. According to me, "Poetry is a kind of oscillation of our conscious or subconscious mind". Perhaps even the poet may not be able to know how the juice, squeezed from our daily life and the thoughts touching all, can make poetry. Yet he continues his writing poetry with an infinite mystery.Why to write and why not to write is also a question mark swaying constantly in front of the eyes of a poet.To explain it more open-heartedly , it can be said that poetry is a kind of mystery and the creator of this mystery is only the mysterious man. Creating this mystery, the mysterious man has named it poetry. A poet creates poetry; so he is the creator of poetry. This creator is not a mere creator, he picks up words and represents the wholeness. Like the words of God, the words of the poet also construct their own subject and make its existence undeniable. There is a common notion about the poet that he is the son of Apollo but in fact, a poet is the son of Marsais, the rival of Apollo and his mournful voice echoes the eternal poetry and the rebellious essence of the poet too.So many things happen in this world in the restless hours; all these seem to happen in the impeccable gap of creation; such incidents are almost unknown to men. They hardly know how to ignite fire by rubbing stones or make weapons of stone for hunting. What happened in the universe when for the first time men came out of the cave to spend night? Were they able to soothe their pain and agony created by shadows and illusions? And lying on back , staring at the starry sky at night, they could not cross the deep secret river of creation by swimming.And Love! Love is the key to all worldly success. As God's love can be gained through love; love is almost same and true with poetry. The pursuit of beauty in poetry through the art of words is rooted in omnipotent love. This love is towards nature, towards the earth, towards man, in a word, towards the creative universe. If Sigmund Freud's philosophy theory is to be believed, the foundation of this love is towards the opposite sex. That is why the seeds of creation of mutual love and affection are between men and women and it is constantly flowing since the dawn of civilization.It is very natural that only love has the capability of crossing all the boundaries and reach everywhere to spread itself. Literature, specially poetry gradually becomes widespread. Within very short period so many brightest stars in sky of art and poetry have gathered under the canopy of "Munir Mezyed Foundation for Arts and Culture" in Romania for the purpose of global peace and harmony through the international poetic festival, " Odyssey Poetry Festival of World Poets, 2020 ".I am really proud to be the Editor of "Odyssey International Anthology For World Poet 2020". Editing such great Anthology with the poems of nearly 200 poets from the whole world is not an easy task but I have been able to accomplish my work due to the blessings and unconditional love of all.Mr. Munir Mezyed, the honourable President of "Munir Mezyed Foundation for Arts and Culture" is a symbol of Love and loyalty. Mr. Mezyed's contribution to global peace and harmony trough poetry is truly admirable. He deserves to receive Nobel Prize in Literature and Peace. We all will work together for him as well as for our mission.With my respect and cordial love.Nurul Hoque.The Editor.Odyssey International Anthology Of World Poets 2020&The Chief Coordinator Of Odyssey International Poetry Festival.

This fascinating study traces the artistic development of one of the major poets of the French Renaissance, Joachim Du Bellay (1522-1560). Tucker focuses on how the poet differed from his contemporaries, describes in detail the importance of his move to Rome in 1553, and provides a close analysis of Du Bellay's complex sonnet sequence, Antiquitez de Rome. In assessing the sonnets, Tucker first locates their central importance within the poet's production, then further situates them with the living and scholarly context of Du Bellay's Rome. Throughout, the volume highlights the sonnets' rich intertextual framework in classical, neo-Latin, and vernacular literature, making them more accessible to the modern reader.

This diverse, vibrant book is modeled, like Joyce's Ulysses, on Homer's ancient epic, using it as an allegorical scaffolding for the poet's own experience as a Black man in contemporary America. The author's language runs the gamut from the vernacular to the Elizabethan; everything from pattern poems, free verse, prose poems, sonnets to parodies of Mother Goose. Remarkable in scope, every poem stands on its own while arranged in chapters that lead the reader through an epic journey of human trials-poverty, desire, injustice, racism-and ultimately to a transcendent awareness of beauty, joy, love and personal triumph.

Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turnsdriven time and again off course, once he had plunderedthe hallowed heights of Troy.So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey.If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, then the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance.In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb Introduction and textual commentary provide new insights and background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles' translation.This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the public at large, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students.--Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning new modern-verse translation.
