Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Odyssey of Homer, Vol. 1: Translated Into English Verse in the Spenserian Stanza In adding one more to existing versions of the Odyssey, the end I have in view is not that recommended by Mr Matthew Arnold - to reproduce for scholars the enjoyment derived from reading the original poem. Some may, perhaps, find their powers stimulated by aspiring to the unattainable, and it may often be true that Who aimeth at the sky, Shoots higher much than he that means a tree. For myself, I have cherished throughout the humbler ambition of conveying to the unprofessional reader, through the medium of his own language, something of what the classically educated feel in perusing Homer himself. It is those who have little or no Greek that I desire to interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
