Here, too, is the heros faithful wife, Penelope, weaving a shroud by day and unraveling it by night, in order to thwart the numerous suitors attempting to take Odysseuss place.The works attributed to Homer include the two oldest and greatest European epic poems, the Odyssey and Iliad. These texts have long stood in the Loeb Classical Library with a faithful and literate prose translation by A. T. Murray. George Dimock now brings the Loebs Odyssey up to date, with a rendering that retains Murrays admirable style but is worded for todays readers. The two-volume edition includes a new introduction, notes, and index. Author Biography Augustus Taber Murray (1866–1940) was Professor of Greek at Stanford University.
