The Odyssey — a Claudyssey

A complete line-for-line English translation of Homer's<br>Odyssey — every one of the 12,107 English lines keyed one-to-one to its<br>Greek line, in a loose five-to-six-beat unrhymed measure.

Each book carries a scholarly annotation apparatus, and the volume closes<br>with a full index of names and places — pronunciations, epithets, kin, and<br>linked citations.
