Praise for Emily Wilson's Odyssey

"If Wilson's version has an English model, it is the moving plainness of Matthew Arnold's 'Sohrab and Rustum.'... Though he never produced a translation himself, I think [Arnold] would have recognized his Homer--a poet 'eminently rapid... eminently plain and direct'--in Wilson's."
--Gregory Hays, New York Times Book Review

"[Wilson] preserves the musicality of Homer's poetry, opting for an iambic pentameter whose approachable storytelling tone invites us in, only to startle us with eruptions of beauty.... Wilson's transformation of such a familiar and foundational work is... astonishing."
--Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, Atlantic

"In the history of Odyssey translations, few have exerted such a cultural influence that they become 'classics' in their own right.... I predict that Emily Wilson will win a place in this roll-call of the most significant translations of the poem in history. She certainly deserves the honour."
--Edith Hall, Daily Telegraph
