But when the paths of father and son converge, they must use all their wits to reclaim Ithaca-or die trying. Allen Mandelbaum's brilliant verse translation realizes the power and the beauty of the original Greek and demonstrates why the Odyssey has captured the human imagination for nearly three thousand years. …
