This Norton Critical Edition includes:

  • Emily Wilson's authoritative translation of Homer's masterpiece, accompanied by her informative introduction, explanatory footnotes, and book-by-book summaries.
  • Four maps, created especially for this translation.
  • Contextual materials including sources and analogues by Homer, Sappho, Pindar, and others. Also included are carefully chosen passages from (mainly) ancient texts that provide insight into The Odyssey and its reception by Plato, Aristotle, Ovid, Pseudo-Longinus, Lucian, Apollodorus, Heraclitus, Porphyry, Proclus, Hyginus, Dante Alighieri, Alfred Lord Tennyson, C. P. Cavafy, Derek Walcott, and Margaret Atwood.
  • Five critical essays addressing key topics--composition; representation of religion and the gods; class and slavery; gender; and more-- essential to the study of The Odyssey. Essays by Laurel Fulkerson, Laura M. Slatkin, Patrice Rankine, Helene P. Foley, and Egbert J. Bakker, are included.
  • A glossary and a list of suggested further readings.
