Odyssey

This is a story about the times of myths and legends, when great heroes performed equally great feats, and the gods were vengeful and cruel.
The bloody Trojan War has ended. The ancient city of Priam, Hector, and Paris lies in ruins, and the king of Ithaca, Odysseus, along with his warriors, sets out on the journey home. Finding himself on an island where the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of the sea god Poseidon, lives, the cunning Greek, in order to save himself, deprives the monster of its only eye. A destructive storm, caused by an enraged Olympian, casts Odysseus's ship to distant shores. Thus begins the ten-year journey of the king of Ithaca, filled with trials and obstacles...
In this book, the famous poem by Homer is presented in a version closely aligned with the original, translated by the renowned Russian writer, translator, and literary scholar Vikenty Veresaev.
The gift edition is accompanied by colorful illustrations by American artist Newell Wyatt and a detailed map reflecting the presumed route of Odysseus's travels.
