The Odyssey by Homer, Robert Fagles (1997, Paperback)

In 7th grade we watched the VHS and i fell in love with the movie. As everyone knows books go into more detail than movies, so i decided to read the book. I love it!, and the fact that ebay sold both the movie and book at such a low price, i just had to buy it. I would recommend the movie or book to anyone that loves mythological things such as the Greek and roman gods. This is by far one of the best books i have ever read. So, if you were having second thoughts about buying this book, dont! You will love this book. Once you pick it up, you wont be able to put it down!

Of course this is a classic! Long, yes, but spellbinding and thrilling. If you watched the video with Armand Asante, you will see him in every page of the book. It should be read in schools, at home, and for pleasure.

Great Book. I would recommend it to anyone with a passion to read. It is one of those books that you dont want to put down once you start reading it. Revolationary.

For cultural references and the importance of standing tall in the face of adversity, there in no finer resource.

I love the facet that I was able to get this book at an affordable price in a matter of just a few days. I decided to buy this book for an advanced placement class that I'm taking in the fall. One of the requirements of this class, is that I have to read three books over the summer. The Odyssey being one of the three books, I had to hurry and buy the book at a price I could afford. So I looked at Ebay and the book was in great condition, and I was able to finish my assissment. I love the fact that Ebay has prices that people could afford and I look forward to buying more products from them.

I like it, i needed it for class. it was in good condition. I think it was a good deal for the type of book i was purchasing.

The delivery was fast and the book came in the exact condition listed :). Well worth the money spent!

The Odyssey, by Homer, is the greatest story ever told. This is most certainly the case with Robert Fagles translating, but not so with other translators. I've read three different versions of The Odyssey and I have to say the Fagles, by FAR, does the best job. I'm not going to lie, The Odyssey can get very tedious at times (digress much Homer?) but it is an amazing book that everyone should read at least twice before they die.
