內容簡介

內容簡介 「《奧德賽》是一首充滿非凡樂趣的詩篇：它是一座被鹽結晶覆蓋、受風暴肆虐、如深酒色般大海的傳奇寶庫，充滿了無數的曲折坎坷，就如同生命本身一般。」——《衛報》這部講述奧德修斯在特洛伊戰爭後歷經十年返鄉旅程的史詩故事，構成了西方文學中最早期且最偉大的作品之一。面對自然與超自然的威脅——海難、戰鬥、怪獸以及海神波賽頓那無法平息的敵意——奧德修斯必須運用他的勇敢與機智來抵達故土，並克服在那裡依舊等待著他的重重障礙。E. V. 里歐所翻譯的《奧德賽》是企鵝經典系列出版的第一部作品，其本身也已達到了經典的地位。'The Odyssey is a poem of extraordinary pleasures: it is a salt-caked, storm-tossed, wine-dark treasury of tales, of many twists and turns, like life itself' GuardianThe epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - ship-wrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god Poseidon - Odysseus must use his bravery and cunning to reach his homeland and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him. E. V. Rieu's translation of The Odyssey was the very first Penguin Classic to be published, and has itself achieved classic status.Translated by E. V. RIEURevised translation by D. C. H. RIEUWith an Introduction by PETER JONES

作者介紹

作者介紹 Homer was probably born around 725BC on the Coast of Asia Minor, now the coast of Turkey, but then really a part of Greece. Homer was the first Greek writer whose work survives.He was one of a long line of bards, or poets, who worked in the oral tradition. Homer and other bards of the time could recite, or chant, long epic poems. Both works attributed to Homer – the Iliad and the Odyssey – are over ten thousand lines long in the original. Homer must have had an amazing memory but was helped by the formulaic poetry style of the time.In the Iliad Homer sang of death and glory, of a few days in the struggle between the Greeks and the Trojans. Mortal men played out their fate under the gaze of the gods. The Odyssey is the original collection of tall traveller’s tales. Odysseus, on his way home from the Trojan War, encounters all kinds of marvels from one-eyed giants to witches and beautiful temptresses. His adventures are many and memorable before he gets back to Ithaca and his faithful wife Penelope.We can never be certain that both these stories belonged to Homer. In fact ‘Homer’ may not be a real name but a kind of nickname meaning perhaps ‘the hostage’ or ‘the blind one’. Whatever the truth of their origin, the two stories, developed around three thousand years ago, may well still be read in three thousand years’ time.E. V. Rieu was a celebrated translator from Latin and Greek, and editor of Penguin Classics from 1944-1964. His son, D. C. H. Rieu has revised his work.D. C. H. Rieu is the son of E. V. Rieu, celebrated translator from Latin and Greek and Editor of Penguin Classics from 1944-1964.Peter Jones is former lecturer in classics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
