Overview
Composed nearly 2,700 years ago, Homer's Epic poem remains one of history's oldest surviving stories. This translation by George Herbert Palmer presents Odysseus' perilous ten-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War in rhythmic prose, using loose iambics instead of the traditional dactylic hexameter. Complete with 16 color plates illustrated by N. C. Wyeth, including frontispiece of Penelope in mourning. Hardcover first edition printed in 1929, Pages are clean and binding is intact, with some minor shelfwear on the top and bottom end of the spine.
