The Odyssey, besides being one of the world's first and best adventure stories, is a poem of great subtlety, rich in irony and sophisticated characterisation. In this edition, Richard Rutherford provides not only detailed comment on the action, characterisation and style of books XIX and XX, but also, in an extensive introduction, a general survey of the Odyssey as a whole.
