The Odyssey Done into English prose edition by Homer S H Samuel Henry Butcher Andrew Lang Reference eBooks
This one was actually pretty good. I hadn't read The Odyssey since school days (many years ago) and had forgotten just how complex the plot gets. Putting it into prose actually made it easier (for me anyway) to follow the storyline. A decent rendering of what is considered a classic tale.Product details

The Odyssey Done into English prose edition by Homer S H Samuel Henry Butcher Andrew Lang Reference eBooks Reviews
The Trojan War is over and one of our hero kings is lost. His son (Telemachus) travels to find any information about his father's fait. His wife (Penelope) must cunningly hold off suitors that are eating them out of house and home.
If he ever makes it home, Odysseus will have to detect those servants loyal from those who are not. One absent king against rows of suitors; how will he give them their just desserts? We look to Bright Eyed Pallas Athena to help prophecy come true.
Interestingly all the tales of monsters and gods on the sea voyage was told by Odysseus. Notice that no one else survives to tell the tale. Therefore, we have to rely on Odysseus' word.
Many movies took sections of The Odyssey, and expanded them to make interesting stories those selves.
Not just the story but also the way in which it is told will keep you up late at night reading.
A tear jerker part is when Odysseus’ dog holds off dying until he greets his friend one last time.
A very important ingredient to the story and reading enjoyment is the selection on the translator. The translation can make a big difference in the understanding of the original story. You may notice some of the translators also translated “the Iliad.”
This is an interesting book, I would encourage anyone to read it... it might seem boring at first but once you get deep into it , its really enjoyable.
This is an old translation and not a good one. Many of the sentences sound convoluted, and they sound like the translations I have been doing (I'm only in my fourth semester of Greek). Okay for being the free edition, but I recommend buying one to save yourself a headache.
The Odyssey, The Iliad and The Aeneid. I can't imagine not having the experience of reading these three classic works. The beauty of the Odyssey is the writing style, much more poetic than the Iliad, less violent. Beautiful piece of work. I'm not fond of this translation, however, so only 4 stars.
This one was actually pretty good. I hadn't read The Odyssey since school days (many years ago) and had forgotten just how complex the plot gets. Putting it into prose actually made it easier (for me anyway) to follow the storyline. A decent rendering of what is considered a classic tale.
