THE ODYSSEY
RENDERED INTO ENGLISH PROSE FOR THE USE OF
THOSE WHO CANNOT READ THE ORIGINAL,
BY
SAMUEL BUTLER,
AUTHOR OF "EREWHON," "SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS RECONSIDERED,"
"THE ILIAD FOR ENGLISH READERS," ETC.
"From some points of view it is impossible to take the Odyssey seriously enough; from others, it is impossible to take it seriously at all; but from which ever point of view it be regarded, its beauty is alike unsurpassable."
Private letter to the translator.
