A propos de cet article

Paperback. "Tell me, Muse, of the ever-shifting man, who was driven far and wide after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy." Citadel is the first vocabulary word in this edition, and it arrives in the poem's second line. A citadel is the fortified heart of a city, the stronghold meant to hold when everything around it falls. Homer does not say Odysseus sacked Troy. He says he sacked its citadel. It is one of 423 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. All twenty-four books, complete, in verse. Every vocabulary word is bolded in the text and footnoted the first time it appears, from wanton in the opening lines through aegis, libation, stratagem, asphodel, and sardonic, each defined in the sense Homer uses it, not as an exhaustive dictionary entry. All 423 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, 21 entries from thole-pins and steering-oar to forestay and roadstead, covering what a dictionary will not. 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 complete poem. If your class reads only the episodes most often assigned, The Odyssey, Canonical Readings: Student Vocabulary Edition is the lighter, lower-cost path: twelve episodes from the Cyclops to the recognition by the bed, with 256 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 and homeschooling families who want the poem and its vocabulary in one book. 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. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
