The Odyssey is Homer's epic of Odysseus' 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. While Odysseus battles mystical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus stave off suitors vying for Penelope's hand and Ithaca's throne long enough for Odysseus to return.

Excerpt from Odyssey: Books XIII XXIV The scenes in these later books, though not less inter esting, are less familiar; and the text has seemed to require somewhat more of explanation. I have tried to leave no difficulties unnoticed; and I have thought it better to make the book, as far as possible, complete in itself, than to give references to notes in the former volume.

Since their composition almost 3,000 years ago the Homeric epics have lost none of their power to grip audiences and fire the imagination: with their stories of life and death, love and loss, war and peace they continue to speak to us at the deepest level about who we are across the span of generations. That being said, the world of Homer is in many ways distant from that in which we live today, with fundamental differences not only in language, social order, and religion, but in basic assumptions about the world and human nature. This volume offers a detailed yet accessible introduction to ancient Greek culture through the lens of Book One of the Odyssey, covering all of these aspects and more in a comprehensive Introduction designed to orient students in their studies of Greek literature and history. The full Greek text is included alongside a facing English translation which aims to reproduce as far as feasible the word order and sound play of the Greek original and is supplemented by a Glossary of Technical Terms and a full vocabulary keyed to the specific ways that words are used in Odyssey I. At the heart of the volume is a full-length line-by-line commentary, the first in English since the 1980s and updated to bring the latest scholarship to bear on the text: focusing on philological and linguistic issues, its close engagement with the original Greek yields insights that will be of use to scholars and advanced students as well as to those coming to the text for the first time.

Excerpt from Homer's Odyssey: Bks. IX. X.; Literally Translated From the Pitt Press Text And thence we sailed forward grieved at hart. And we came to the land of the Cyclopes, overweening and lawless, who, trusting to the immortal gods, set no plant with their hands, nor do they plough, but things grow all unsown and untilled, wheat and barley and vines, which bear the thick clustering grape, and the rain of Zeus fosters it for them. And they have neither meeting places for council nor places of justice, but they dwell on the peaks of lofty mountains in hollow caves, and each one gives the law to his children and wife, and they reck not of each other.

Philip Schaff Prize, American Society of Church History S-USIH Book Award, Society for U.S. Intellectual History Merle Curti Award in Intellectual History, Organization of American Historians “A fascinating book...Gin Lum suggests that, in many times and places, the divide between Christian and ‘heathen’ was the central divide in American life.”—Kelefa Sanneh, New Yorker “Offers a dazzling range of examples to substantiate its thesis. Rare is the reader who could dip into it without becoming much better informed on a great many topics historical, literary, and religious. So many of Gin Lum’s examples are enlightening and informative in their own right.”—Philip Jenkins, Christian Century “Brilliant...Gin Lum’s writing style is nuanced, clear, detailed yet expansive, and accessible, which will make the book a fit for both graduate and undergraduate classrooms. Any scholar of American history should have a copy.” —Emily Suzanne Clark, S-USIH: Society for U.S. Intellectual History In this sweeping historical narrative, Kathryn Gin Lum shows how the idea of the heathen has been maintained from the colonial era to the present in religious and secular discourses—discourses, specifically, of race. Americans long viewed the world as a realm of suffering heathens whose lands and lives needed their intervention to flourish. The term “heathen” fell out of common use by the early 1900s, leading some to imagine that racial categories had replaced religious differences. But the ideas underlying the figure of the heathen did not disappear. Americans still treat large swaths of the world as “other” due to their assumed need for conversion to American ways. Race continues to operate as a heathen inheritance in the United States, animating Americans’ sense of being a world apart from an undifferentiated mass of needy, suffering peoples. Heathen thus reveals a key source of American exceptionalism and a prism through which Americans have defined themselves as a progressive and humanitarian nation even as supposed heathens have drawn on the same to counter this national myth.

Excerpt from Odyssey: Books I-XII; With Introduction, Notes, Etc Tm: editing of the first half of the Odyssey was under taken for the Clarendon Press Series by the late James Riddell, m.a., Fellow and Tutor of Balliol, a task peculiarly appropriate to his fine taste and intuitive appreciation of Greek scholarship. That work was cut short by his early death, when he had written a commentary on some five books. In preparing this volume for School use I have been glad to consult his admirable notes, but they belong properly to the larger edition of the Odyssey, which is intended to appear later in the Clarendon Series in our joint names.
