The Odyssey

Homer's Odyssey is still enchanting readers after thousands of years

Guardian

Surely the best and truest Odyssey in the English language

Herald Tribune

Fitzgerald is taking his place beside Chapman and Pope in the unbroken lineage of English Homeric translations...it has the economy and soar of a poet

George Steiner

A strong salty flavour of its own. And it makes you see things

C.S. Lewis

The Homeric poems are interesting...because of the way in which they present human shocks and surprises... It is the surprising twist that war brings to the domestic...which makes Homer repeatedly shocking

London Review of Books

Of all bookes extant in all kinds, Homer is the first and best...writ from a free furie, an absolute and full soule

George Chapman
