The Odyssey of Homer

Homer
Perhaps the most celebrated of all Western narratives, the Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus's roundabout voyage home to Ithaca where his beloved Penelope awaits. In stories along the way, he famously encounters Circe, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and many, many others. This translation renders the classic more economically than others.

The Rape of the Lock
more books like this
by
Alexander Pope
Subtitled "An Heroi-Comical Poem", Pope's satire is based on a real event--the playful cutting of a lock of young woman's hair by an enamored swain--that caused a rift between two prominent families. Pope's attempt to smooth things over with humor was apparently successful: the feud ended, and the poem was a huge hit with the public. "The Rape of ...

The Iliad of Homer

by
Alexander Pope
Even Ajax and Achilles heard the sound, Whose ships, remote, the guarded navy bound, Thence the black fury through the Grecian throng With horror sounds the loud Orthian song: The navy shakes, and at the dire alarms Each bosom boils, each warrior starts to arms. No more they sigh, inglorious to return, But breathe revenge, and for the combat burn.

Pope: Selected Poetry

by
Alexander Pope, Douglas Grant (Designer), Professor Angus Ross (Introduction by)
Although the Age of Reason might seem particularly remote today, Pope's verse, written from the fringes of aristocratic London society, has dated no more than that of Chaucer or Shakespeare. He is the great poet of worldly and human experience, and out of the sting, erudition, passion and contradictions of his poetry he emerges, not simply as the ...
