Media Reviews
“A landmark in the history of modern translation. . . . Lattimore has reanimated Homer for this generation, and perhaps for other generations to come.” — Times Literary Supplement (London) “A splendid achievement. . . the best translation there is of a great, perhaps the greatest, poet.” — New York Times Book Review "[Lattimore's] Odyssey is his masterpiece." — Walter Kaufmann “Lattimore’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey is the most eloquent, persuasive, and imaginative I have seen. It reads as if the poem had originally been written in English.” — Paul Engle "The best. . . translator of Greek poetry into English is Richmond Lattimore. . . . This is the best Odyssey in modern English." — Gilbert Highet
