Epic poetryVintage from the 1720s The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War.

This is that text as cast into Engish by Alexander Pope, one of the giants of English poetry.
