Ornate Classics: The Odyssey

Ornate Classics: The Odyssey

One of the greatest adventure stories ever written, The Odyssey has captivated readers for nearly three thousand years with its unforgettable tale of courage, perseverance, and the longing for home.

After the fall of Troy, the legendary hero Odysseus begins the long journey back to his kingdom of Ithaca. What should have been a short voyage becomes an epic ten-year adventure filled with shipwrecks, mythical monsters, vengeful gods, enchanting sorceresses, and impossible trials. As Odysseus struggles to survive encounters with the Cyclops, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and the nymph Calypso, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must also fight to protect their home from ruthless suitors determined to seize his throne.

Rich in action, mythology, and unforgettable characters, The Odyssey is far more than an adventure story. It is a timeless exploration of loyalty, resilience, wisdom, hospitality, and the enduring power of hope. This edition features T. E. Lawrence's celebrated prose translation, admired for its elegant style and accessibility while remaining faithful to the spirit of Homer's original epic.

Beautifully presented in the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this pocket-sized collector's edition features a luxurious foil-embossed hardcover, gilt page edges, decorative endpapers, and premium ivory paper. Combining timeless literature with elegant craftsmanship, it is a wonderful keepsake for collectors and an ideal gift for anyone who loves the classics.
