"I have hunted wild boars and watched wild lions," wrote T.E. Lawrence, the famed Lawrence of Arabia. "Built boats and killed many men. So I have odd knowledges that qualify me to understand The Odyssey , and odd experiences that interpret it to me." In this prose edition of Homer's epic work (available for the first time in decades), one of the century's best-known men of action draws upon his innate sense of language and true gifts of translation to transform the Odyssey into mellifluous prose.
