Synopsis
“Friends, Nobody is killing me, by guile and not by force.”
Guile is the word the whole trick turns on. It means cunning of the deceiving kind, craft used to get around someone rather than through them, and Odysseus uses it here in the most famous lie in Western literature. The Cyclops’ neighbors hear the word nobody and go back to bed. It is one of 256 words defined on the page where it first appears, in a new verse translation of The Odyssey made line by line from the Greek.
What’s inside. The twelve episodes most often assigned in high school and college courses, complete and unabridged within themselves: the proem, Calypso and the raft, the Cyclops, Circe, the Land of the Dead, the Sirens and Scylla, the reunion with Telemachus, the death of Argos, the contest of the bow, the slaughter of the suitors, and Penelope’s test of the bed. Every vocabulary word is bolded and footnoted the first time it appears, from citadel in the opening lines through ambrosia, aegis, asphodel, prodigious, and implacable, each defined in the sense Homer uses it. All 256 are gathered again in an alphabetical Vocabulary list at the back.
What’s also inside. A Translator’s Introduction on why this translation exists and how it was made. A glossary of nautical terms, 13 entries from steering-oar and halyard to forestay and anchorage. And a full bibliography of the Greek editions behind the text.
What’s not inside. No plot summary. No page-cluttering commentary. No study questions to grind through. And no softening: a slave is called a slave, and the violence, the coercion and Homer’s own judgments stand as he wrote them.
Two editions: how to choose. This is the shorter path, built for the syllabus that reads selections: less to carry, less to buy. If you want the whole poem, The Odyssey, Unabridged: Student Vocabulary Edition carries all twenty-four books with 423 words annotated the same way.
Who it’s for. High school students meeting Homer in class. Honors and AP English students. SAT and ACT candidates building a working vocabulary from real reading. ESL and EFL learners, and anyone preparing for TOEFL or IELTS. Teachers assigning the canonical episodes who want the vocabulary already done. And anyone who has heard of the Sirens and never read them.
Part of the Student Vocabulary Editions series: the vocabulary of the classics. Start here, on the wine-dark sea.
