THE ODYSSEY: With the Greek on one side and the English on the other side this edition allows for easy reading while also opportunities to peruse the original Greek - "the classic parallel text version of Homer." Translation by Augustus Taber Murray (1866–1940) Professor of Greek at Stanford University and George Edward Dimock (1917–2000), Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at Smith College.
Homer was probably born around 725BC and he is from a long line of bards and poets who practiced the oral tradition of storytelling. .AMAZON
