The Odyssey: The Fitzgerald Translation

Many people do not realize that Odyssey (and Iliad) is poetry. The English translation is quite awkward. The text is more than
2800 years old and ancient Greek was a highly structured language. It was much more complex than any other Western including the currently spoken Greek. The fact that readers find it compelling today proves its value. On the other hand it requires, from the reader, to understand the natural limitations of translating poetic story telling and also a level of culture. Considering this, the human-centric focus and the genius of Homer will become evident.

I think that the Odyssey is a good book to read because it talks about excited things that happend in life. It is an intresting book to read. Alot people that I now have read this book.
Now that I read this book I have enjoy this book alot and my friends have to. I put for the title of the review.The Odyssey a classic because I think this book is going to continue to success because I think that the people are going to continue reading this book. I think that is a very import book.

I think that this book in parts is good, because it talks about a men that are capted by a mounster and that mounster dont led odisseus go back home to see his family, and is for that, that I dont like to much these book, because no body can live far of his family, and eather no knowing nothing of his family. many people said that is bether live out his family and this book show us that if love concuires in that family, no matter who traing to separate that family, at last ther would be together.

well, I think that this book is an important book for everybody because it talks about the problems that we have in our lives, well it does not talk about our daily problems but it talks about our bigest problem in life and I think that it shows us how to resolve it, because I think that the main purpose of the book is try to teach us that if we have a problem in our lives we must resolve it even if we take 20 years, but we should never give up.
And I realy recomend this book because it has a lot of adventure, action, and it blows your mind. and remember this, read all the books you can, is the best think you can do.

the book was not really interesting. It might be cause i dont like to read, could be a reason why i didnt like it. But it has little interesting things like all those monsters, gods and characteres that appeared there. Most of the class did like it cause the universal themes were interesting. Maybe i should read it again and focus more to understand it a little bit more.
