Three excerpts of Homer's [b:The Odyssey 1381 The Odyssey Homer https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390173285s/1381.jpg 3356006], published as a Penguin 60s Classic.This is a different translator than the Penguin Little Black Classic excerpt [b:Circe and the Cyclops 24874360 Circe and the Cyclops Homer https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1423752685s/24874360.jpg 44522797], and to my mind a much better translation - much more fluid.The three selections here are Odysseus' encounter with the cyclops; then with Circe the witch; and finally with Scylla and Charybdis.There were well selected and all interesting and worked well as excerpts with a start, a narrative and an ending. As I gave the Little Black Classic 3 stars, and this was much better, I guess we are in four star territory here!
