BACKCOVER: <B>Praise for Robert Fagles's translation of the <I>Odyssey:</I></B><BR> “Wonderfully readable . . . just the right blend of sophistication and roughness, it seems to me.”<BR> —Ted Hughes<br><BR> “A memorable achievement . . . Mr. Fagles has been remarkably successful in finding a style that is of our time and yet timeless.”<BR> —Richard Jenkyns, <I>The New York Times Book Review</I><br><BR> “Remarkably seductive . . . In Fagles's hands, this 'perennial poem of adventure' is again a work of entertainment, of majesty and epic beauty great enough to stun the senses.”<BR> —<I>The Philadelphia Inquirer</I> <p><br> <b>@TranslatioStud</b> Got a gift of a huge wooden horse today, here in Troy. Just appeared outside the city gate. BTW: War going poorly. <br><BR> Surprise. Soldiers inside the horse. We didn't start the fire! Hector's Ghost says to GTFO – take Dad and the kid with me. <br><BR> I'm on a boat. Three generations of Aenean men on a sea-journey of epic proportions. Hmm. Sounds familiar… <br><br> <b>From </b></DIV>
